DOI: 10.1029/2023tc007747
Abstract: The Owen transform fault (OTF) connecting the Sheba and the Carlsberg spreading ridges in the Indian Ocean currently forms the active plate boundary between India and Somalia plates. This 330‐km‐long transform fault is by far… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-03278-9
Abstract: Oceanic transform faults are seismically and tectonically active plate boundaries1 that leave scars-known as fracture zones-on oceanic plates that can cross entire ocean basins2. Current descriptions of plate tectonics assume transform faults to be conservative… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/feart.2024.1347252
Abstract: Hydrocarbon gases formed from biotic and abiotic processes are released through the seafloor at different locations around the world. They have been widely observed directly in video and photo data, and indirectly on echosounder data.… read more here.
