Core-complex formation driven by lithospheric extension is a first-order process of heat and
mass transfer in the Earth. Core-complex structures have been recognized in the continents …

Hydrothermal circulation and alteration at mid-ocean ridges and ridge flanks have a key role
in regulating seawater chemistry and global chemical fluxes, and support diverse …

Marine minerals such as manganese nodules, Co-rich ferromanganese crusts, and seafloor
massive sulfides are commonly seen as possible future resources that could potentially add …

The key for understanding the trace metal inventory of currently explored VHMS deposits
lies in the understanding of trace element distribution during the formation of these deposits …

We summarize the uptake of carbon and sulfur during serpentinization of seafloor
peridotites, and discuss the fate of these volatiles during subduction of serpentinite. We use …

Active deep-sea hydrothermal vents are hosted by a range of different rock types, including
basalt, peridotite, and felsic rocks. The associated hydrothermal fluids exhibit substantial …
