The formation of abyssal serpentinites leads to deep changes of the oceanic lithosphere
rheology and geochemistry, hence playing a key role on geodynamic and geochemical …

Deep-sea hydrothermal systems at slow/ultraslow-spreading mid-ocean ridges are often
located within ultramafic rocks that are part of oceanic core complexes. These complexes …

Among the various university courses I took for my geoscience degree, volcanology and
structural geology motivated me by far the most. Volcanoes and deformed rocks are indeed …

Crustal accretion at mid-ocean ridges governs the creation and evolution of the oceanic
lithosphere. Generally accepted models,,–of passive mantle upwelling and melting predict …

We develop a 3‐D isotropic shear velocity model for the Alaska subduction zone using data
from seafloor and land‐based seismographs to investigate along‐strike variations in …

The depth of earthquakes along mid-ocean ridges is restricted by the relatively thin brittle
lithosphere that overlies a hot, upwelling mantle. With decreasing spreading rate …

In collision belts, the first-order role of the mantle in localizing deformation has remained
elusive, as the resolution of geophysical imaging remains too low to constrain crustal …

Continental rifting, break-up, and onset of seafloor spreading are inherently controlled by the
segmentation and structure of the continental domain suffering from extension. Today, the …

The crustal accretion along mid-ocean ridges is known to be spreading-rate dependent.
Along fast-spreading ridges, two-dimensional sheet-like mantle upwelling creates relatively …

Magmatic accretion and tectonic extension are two major ways to accommodate the plate
separation in the mid-ocean ridge (MOR). The M number, the proportion of magmatic …
