DOI: 10.1007/s13131-018-1333-y
Abstract: The ultraslow-spreading Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) to the east of the Melville fracture zone is characterized by very low melt supply and intensive tectonic activity. Due to its weak thermal budget and extremely slow spreading… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marchem.2019.103732
Abstract: Abstract Hydrothermal vent incidence is proportional to the spreading rate of the mid-oceanic ridges (MORs) ( Baker et al., 1996 ). However, the ultra-slow spreading Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) is unique and has a relatively… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2017jb015367
Abstract: 21 Beneath ultra-slow spreading ridges, the oceanic lithosphere remains poorly understood. Using 22 recordings from a temporary array of ocean bottom seismometers, we here report a ~17-days23 long microearthquake study on two segments (27 and… read more here.
