▪ Abstract The recent recognition of a potentially vast, unexplored hot microbial biosphere
associated with active volcanism along the global mid-ocean ridge network has …

We describe best-fitting angular velocities and MORVEL, a new closure-enforced set of
angular velocities for the geologically current motions of 25 tectonic plates that collectively …

We determine best-fitting Euler vectors, closure-fitting Euler vectors, and a new global model
(NUVEL-1) describing the geologically current motion between 12 assumed-rigid plates by …

Summary The SW Indian and American-Antarctic Ridges are two of the world's slowest
spreading ocean ridges (less than 1 cm a− 1), making them the low end-members for rate of …

This paper discusses the geological and geophysical data available on mid‐ocean ridges
with outcrops of serpentinized mantle peridotites, with the objective of better constraining the …

In a study of geological and geophysical data from the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, we have
identified 17 large, domed edifices (megamullions) that have surfaces corrugated by …

The strips of ocean crust formed at the inside corners of both transform and non-transform
offsets on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are punctuated by topographic highs—the'inside-corner …

Biochemical studies indicate that the Drosophila timeless protein (Tim) is a stoichiometric
partner of the period protein (Per) in fly head extracts. A Per-Tim heterodimeric complex …

We examine the closure of the current plate motion circuit between the African, North
American, and Eurasian plates to test whether these plates are rigid and whether the Gloria …
