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.

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.

Abstract: Noble gases have become a powerful tool to constrain the origin and evolution of ore-forming fluids in seafloor hydrothermal systems. The aim of this study was to apply these tracers to understand the genesis of… read more here.
