Synthesis of oceanic crustal structure from two‐dimensional seismic profiles
We present a new synthesis of oceanic crustal structure from two‐dimensional seismic
profiles to explore differences related to spreading rate and age. Primary results are as …

Geophysical constraints on the dynamics of spreading centres from rifting episodes on land
Most of the Earth's crust is created along 60,000 km of mid-ocean ridge system. Here,
tectonic plates spread apart and, in doing so, gradually build up stress. This stress is …

Source of oceanic magnetic anomalies and the geomagnetic polarity time scale
JS Gee, DV Kent - 2007 - academiccommons.columbia.edu
As new seafloor is created at the ridge crest, it cools and acquires a thermoremanence that
captures a record of past geomagnetic field variations. The dominant geomagnetic signal …

The 2018-ongoing Mayotte submarine eruption: Magma migration imaged by petrological monitoring
Deep-sea submarine eruptions are the least known type of volcanic activity, due to the
difficulty of detecting, monitoring, and sampling them. Following an intense seismic crisis in …
