Abstract: Oceanic ridge crest processes constitute a vigorous frontier of multidisciplinary research with global ramifications in the earth, atmospheric and biologic sciences. This deep ocean frontier is gradually opening in response to investigations which are elucidating the role of these processes in the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere, and the application of advanced instrumental and interpretive techniques which are increasing the quality and quantity of data. These techniques include crustal drilling with borehole logging (Deep Sea Drilling Project reports), high-resolution bathymetry (Sea Beam, etc.), side-scan sonar (SeaMARC I and II, GLORIA, etc.), imagery with video and photography, multichannel seismics, determination of water column properties (CTD with rosette sampler, etc.), and submersible applications.

Ecology of deep-sea hydrothermal vent communities: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the biological and geological processes in the deep sea and found that vent populations that cannot adapt to modified flow rates are adversely affected by high mortality or lower rates of colonization, growth, or reproduction.

Active hydrothermal mounds in the Okinawa Trough backarc basin, Japan
Masaaki Kimura,Seiya Uyeda,Y. Kato,Toshiyuki Tanaka,Makoto Yamano,Toshitaka Gamo,Hitoshi Sakai,S. Kato,E. Izawa,Tamotsu Oomori +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the SHINKAI 2000 dive was conducted in the central axial rift of the Middle Okinawa Trough, a possible active backarc basin in a nascent stage.

Gene flow among vestimentiferan tube worm (Riftia pachyptila) populations from hydrothermal vents of the eastern Pacific
TL;DR: A general decrease in estimated rates of gene flow between geographically more distant populations supports the hypothesis that dispersal in this species follows a stepping-stone model, with exchange between neighboring populations in great excess of long-distance dispersal.

A model for the deposition of hydrothermal manganese near ridge crests
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-stage scavenging model is used to describe the transport of hydrothermal Mn to the sediments adjacent to ridge crests, and the results present a picture of water column distributions and fluxes of dissolved, fine particulate, and large-particle associated Mn in a plume advecting off axis.

Oceanic faulting and fault‐controlled subseafloor hydrothermal alteration in the sheeted dike complex of the Josephine Ophiolite
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed mapping of a large water-polished outcrop of the sheeted dike/gabbro transition zone in the Josephine ophiolite of NW California and SW Oregon is presented.

The carbonate-silicate geochemical cycle and its effect on atmospheric carbon dioxide over the past 100 million years
TL;DR: In this article, a computer model has been constructed that considers the effects on the CO/sub 2/ level of the atmosphere, and the Ca, Mg, and HCO/sub 3/ levels of the ocean, of the following processes: weathering on the continents of calcite, dolomite, and calcium-and-magnesium-containing silicates; biogenic precipitation and removal of CaCO 3/from the ocean; removal of Mg from the ocean via volcanic-seawater reaction; and the metamorphic-magmatic decarbon

Chromian spinel as a petrogenetic indicator in abyssal and alpine-type peridotites and spatially associated lavas
Henry J. B. Dick,Thomas Bullen +1 more
TL;DR: The composition of chromian spinels in alpine-type peridotites has a large reciprocal range of Cr and Al, with increasing Cr# (Cr/(Cr+Al)) reflecting increasing degrees of partial melting in the mantle as mentioned in this paper.

The Generation and Compaction of Partially Molten Rock
TL;DR: Uounu et al. as mentioned in this paper derived the equations governing the movement of the melt and the matrix of a partially molten material from the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy using expressions from the theory of mixtures.

Mantle plumes from ancient oceanic crust
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a model for the origin of hot-spot volcanism, where oceanic crust is returned to the mantle during subduction and sinks into the deeper mantle and accumulates at some level of density compensation, possibly the core-mantle boundary.

Chemistry of submarine hydrothermal solutions at 21 °N, East Pacific Rise
TL;DR: The major ion data are consistent with the estimates based on extrapolation of the original measurements made on the hot springs from the Galapagos Spreading Center ( Edmond et al., 1979a).
