To better address how Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB) sulfur isotope composition can be
modified by assimilation and/or by immiscible sulfide fractionation, we report sulfur (S) …

It is generally accepted that the subduction polarity reversal (SPR) results from the strong
collision of two plates. Yet, the SPR of the Solomon Back‐arc Basin is started in the “soft …

Publisher Summary In the oceans, bathymetry is essential for understanding physical
oceanography, biology, and marine geology. The chapter reviews the important issue for …

The selenium stable isotope system emerges as a new potential tracer of volatile origin and
evolution of the terrestrial planets. Accurate determination of the mantle Se isotope …

We report the detection, principally by the French Polynesian seismic network, of
hydroacoustic signals generated inside large icebergs, either 'parked'along the Wilkes coast …

Isotope analyses of mid-ocean-ridge basalts have led to the identification of large-scale
geochemical provinces, with a clear distinction between the Pacific and the Atlantic or Indian …

The enforcement of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) requires the
monitoring of acoustic disturbances in the world's oceans in order to guard against the …

The Owen transform fault (OTF) connecting the Sheba and the Carlsberg spreading ridges
in the Indian Ocean currently forms the active plate boundary between India and Somalia …

The high‐resolution geoid and gravity maps derived from ERS‐1 and Geosat satellite
geodetic missions reveal a set of small‐scale lineations on the flanks of slow to intermediate …

A review of geological and geophysical observations points towards a worldwide kinematic
change at around 6 Ma. The synchronicity of many manifestations (tectonics, magmatism …
