Lō`ihi Seamount defines the volcanically active, leading edge in the Hawaiian hotspot chain. It is located on the submarine flank of Mauna Loa, 30 km south of the island of Hawai`i. Lō`ihi’s summit is at 975-m water depth (Pisces Peak), and the seamount has a pronounced southern rift that extends...
Calcium carbonate percentages at five Ceara Rise sites were estimated at 1- to 2-k.y. intervals over the past 5 m.y., using
reflectance spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility proxies. From these estimates and detailed correlations between sites, gradients
of calcite and terrigenous sediment accumulation rates in a depth transect of sites reveal...
