Water‐rock interactions within the seafloor are responsible for significant energy and solute
fluxes between basaltic oceanic crust and the overlying ocean. Permeability is the primary …

The mid-ocean ridge (MOR) is the largest, most continuous volcanic system on Earth, yet we
have directly observed, mapped or sampled less than one percent of its total surface area …

Abstract General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) has released the GEBCO_2014
grid, a new digital bathymetric model of the world ocean floor merged with land topography …

Vertical mixing is often regarded as the Achilles' heel of ocean models. In particular, few
models include a comprehensive and energy‐constrained parameterization of mixing by …

We report on extensive off-axis bathymetry, gravity, and magnetic data that provide a 26-my-
long record of axial tectonic and magmatic processes over a 660-km-long and melt-poor …

Abyssal-hill-bounding faults that pervade the oceanic crust are the most common tectonic
feature on the surface of the Earth. The recognition that these faults form at plate spreading …

Seamounts are active or extinct undersea volcanoes with heights exceeding~ 100 m. They
represent a small but significant fraction of the volcanic extrusive budget for oceanic seafloor …

The heavily-revised Practical Handbook of Marine Science, Fourth Edition continues its
tradition as a state-of-the-art reference that updates the field of marine science to meet the …

Mid-ocean ridges (MORs) are quintessential sites of tectonic extension,,–, at which
divergence between lithospheric plates shapes abyssal hills that cover about two-thirds of …

The review examines the role of geomorphology in analyzing the volcanoes on Earth. Five
objectives are stressed. First, classifications of volcanic landforms should be improved to …
