THE Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) extends for over 12,000 km from Iceland to the Bouvet Triple Junction in the south Atlantic. Most of our knowledge of the geology of this slow-spreading centre comes either from widely spaced low-resolution e...
Analysis of Sea Beam bathymetry along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between 24掳00鈥 N and 30掳40鈥 N reveals the nature and scale of the segmentation of this slo...
After reduction to correct for the topography, spreading rate, latitude, and lineation azimuth effects, axial magnetic anomalies amplitudes are compared with bathymetric, gravity, seismological, and geochemical data along a 2600-km-long ...
Bathymetry and gravity data covering 10 m.y. on both flanks of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge south of the Kane Fracture Zone reveal a complex segmentation pattern...
The mid-ocean ridge (MOR) system is not uniform. Systematic changes in depth and shape subdivide the ridge into discrete spreading segments. It is not well...
The morphological characteristics of the segmentation of the Central Indian Ridge (CIR) from the Indian Ocean Triple Junction (25°30′S) to the Egeria Tr...

We studied long-term evolution of nontransform discontinuities (NTDs) on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge from 0- to ~20- to 25-Ma crust using plate reconstructions ...

The inversion of magnetic anomalies in terms of an irregular layer of magnetized material is studied, and an efficient procedure for constructing solutions...
Normal oceanic crust in the North Atlantic is typically formed in strips 50 to 80 km wide separated by fracture zones. Anomalous seismic crustal structure (less than 10 km wide) is found beneath fracture zones regardless of the amount of...
The Kane Fracture Zone probably is better covered by geophysical survey data, acquired both by design and incidentally, than any other fracture zone in the...
The inner rift vailey of the MARK area (Mid-Atlantic Ridge at the Kane fracture zone) was investigated with the submersible Nautile at the latitude of the Snake Pit hydrothermal field (23掳22'N). A transect across the axial valley shows ...
The Mid-Ocean Ridge girdles the earth like the seam of a baseball. For more than 75,000 kilometers, this submerged range of razorback mountains--many highe...
Systematic changes in seafloor depth, crustal structure, and crustal geochemistry can occur within 30 km of a fracture zone. The seafloor gradually deepens...

All known propagating rifts (PR's) are growing away from shallow ridge axis seafloor. We examine a model for rift propagation in which the ridge axis condu...
The International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) is a series of mathematical models of the main geomagnetic field and its secular variation. The models...
