Geodynamic Models of Melt Generation and Extraction at Mid-Ocean Ridges

Gregg, Patricia M.; Hebert, Laura B .; Montesi, Laurent G. J.; Katz, Richard F. (Oceanography Society, 2012-03)

It is widely accepted that plate divergence at mid-ocean ridges drives mantle flow, mantle melting, and the formation of new oceanic crust. However, many of the details of this process remain obscure because of the inacc ...
Spatial and temporal distribution of a C-like asthenoshpheric component in the Rano Rahi Seamount Field, East Pacific Rise, 15°-19°S

Hall, L. S.; Mahoney, J. J.; Sinton, J. M.; Duncan, Robert A. (American Geophysical Union, 2006-03-28)

Lavas of the Rano Rahi seamount field define a Nd-Pb-Sr isotopic array that connects, and substantially overlaps, the arrays of the nearby East Pacific Rise axis and 5.6–28 Ma lavas of the Pukapuka ridge system, situat ...
