Diffuse flow: On and around hydrothermal vents at Mid-Ocean Ridges

K Bemis, RP Lowell, A Farough - Oceanography, 2012 - JSTOR
Black smokers are the dramatic result of seawater being heated to high temperatures
(generally 250° to 350° C) by magmatic systems, then discharging at the seafloor. However …

Characteristics of magma‐driven hydrothermal systems at oceanic spreading centers

RP Lowell, A Farough, J Hoover… - Geochemistry …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We use one‐and two‐limb single‐pass models to de termine vent field characteristics such
as mass flow rate Q, bulk permeability in the discharge zone kd, thickness of the conductive …

A Vent-Field-scale Model of the east Pacific rise 9 50'n Magma-Hydrothermal system

RP LowELL, AA FARougH, LN Germanovich… - Oceanography, 2012 - JSTOR
This paper describes a two-limb single-pass modeling approach constrained by vent
temperature, heat flow, vent geochemistry, active-source seismology, and seismically …

Mathematical modeling of diffuse flow in seafloor hydrothermal systems: The potential extent of the subsurface biosphere at mid-ocean ridges

RP Lowell, JL Houghton, A Farough, KL Craft… - Earth and Planetary …, 2015 - Elsevier
We describe a variety of one-and two-dimensional mathematical modeling approaches to
characterizing diffuse flow circulation at mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems. The goal is …
