Mantle melting and heterogeneity along mid-ocean ridges : insight from basalt geochemistry along axial depth and morphologic gradients for intermediate spreading rate systems

Creator:

Russo, Christopher J.

Abstract:

This investigation focuses on gaining a better understanding of the complex relationship between melt generation, source variability and mid-ocean ridge morphology. The approach adopted here uses a variety of geochemical techniques to evaluate the ability of 'global' models to predict regional scale geochemical variability associated with axial depth and axial...
