Germanium in mid-ocean ridge flank hydrothermal fluids

Wheat, C. Geoffrey; McManus, James (American Geophysical Union, 2008-03-27)

We present concentrations of germanium and silicon in sediment pore waters, basaltic formation fluids, and bulk sediment from three ridge flank hydrothermal systems (RFHS). Basaltic formation fluids from warm (>30°C) R ...
Oceanic phosphorus imbalance: Magnitude of the mid-ocean ridge flank hydrothermal sink

Wheat, C. Geoffrey; McManus, James; Mottl, Michael J.; Giambalvo, Emily (American Geophysical Union, 2003-09-09)

We present a new estimate for the crustal phosphorous sink that results from reactions among seawater, basalt, and sediment blanketing low temperature mid-ocean ridge flank hydrothermal systems. New estimates for glob ...
