Evolution and biogeography of deep-sea vent and seep invertebrates

CL Van Dover, CR German, KG Speer, LM Parson… - science, 2002 - science.org
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps are submarine springs where nutrient-rich
fluids emanate from the sea floor. Vent and seep ecosystems occur in a variety of geological …

Oceanic island basalts and mantle plumes: the geochemical perspective

WM White - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2010 - annualreviews.org
Mantle plumes—which are usually, but not always, chemically distinct from the mid-ocean
ridge basalt (MORB)—may be rooted in the core-mantle boundary and begin with large …

TiO2 enrichment in ocean island basalts

J Prytulak, T Elliott - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2007 - Elsevier
An extensive dataset of ocean island basalt (OIB) compositions highlight that their titanium
(Ti) contents are generally too high to be derived from melting of a peridotitic mantle. Even …

Discovery of a magma chamber and faults beneath a Mid-Atlantic Ridge hydrothermal field

SC Singh, WC Crawford, H Carton, T Seher, V Combier… - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
Crust at slow-spreading ridges is formed by a combination of magmatic and tectonic
processes, with magmatic accretion possibly involving short-lived crustal magma chambers …

Serpentinization and associated hydrogen and methane fluxes at slow spreading ridges

M Cannat, F Fontaine, J Escartin - Diversity of hydrothermal systems on …, 2010 - hal.science
