Journal ArticleDOI
East Pacific Rise: Hot Springs and Geophysical Experiments
Fred N. Spiess,Ken C. Macdonald,Tanya Atwater,Robert D. Ballard,A. Carranza,D. Cordoba,C. Cox,V. M. Diaz Garcia,J. Francheteau,José Manuel Crespo Guerrero,James W. Hawkins,Rachel M. Haymon,Robert R. Hessler,Tierre Juteau,Miriam Kastner,Roger L. Larson,Bruce P. Luyendyk,J. D. Macdougall,Stanley L. Miller,William R. Normark,John A. Orcutt,Claude Rangin +21 more
TL;DR: High-resolution determinations of crustal properties along the spreading center were made to gain knowledge of the source of new oceanic crust and marine magnetic anomalies, the nature of the axial magma chamber, and the depth of hydrothermal circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volcanic eruption of the mid-ocean ridge along the East Pacific Rise crest at 9°45-52'N: Direct submersible observations of seafloor phenomena associated with an eruption event in April, 1991
Rachel M. Haymon,Daniel J. Fornari,K. L. Von Damm,Marvin D. Lilley,Michael R. Perfit,John M. Edmond,Wayne C. Shanks,Richard A. Lutz,J. M. Grebmeier,J. M. Grebmeier,Suzanne M. Carbotte,Dawn J. Wright,Elizabeth McLaughlin,Matthew Smith,N. Beedle,Eric J. Olson +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of previously undocumented seafloor phenomena accompanying an in-progress eruption of the mid-ocean ridge on the East Pacific Rise crest at 9°45′N-52′N.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new view of the mid-ocean ridge from the behaviour of ridge-axis discontinuities
Ken C. Macdonald,Paul J. Fox,Laura Jean Perram,M. F. Eisen,Rachel M. Haymon,Stephen P. Miller,Suzanne M. Carbotte,Marie-Helene Cormier,Alexander N. Shor +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution images covering large areas of the seafloor reveal numerous discontinuities along the mid-ocean ridge, which are transient and persist for millions of years, disrupting the structural and geochemical character of approximately 20% of the oceanic lithosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal vent distribution along the East Pacific Rise crest (9°09′–54′N) and its relationship to magmatic and tectonic processes on fast-spreading mid-ocean ridges
Rachel M. Haymon,Daniel J. Fornari,Margo H. Edwards,Suzanne M. Carbotte,Dawn J. Wright,Ken C. Macdonald +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the near bottom ARGO imaging system to visually and acoustically survey the narrow ( < 200 m wide) axial zone of the fast-spreading East Pacific Rise (EPR) along 83 km of its length (9°09′-54′N), and systematically mapped the distribution of hundreds of hydrothermal features relative to other fine-scale volcanic and tectonic features of the ridge crest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal and spatial patterns of biological community development at nascent deep-sea hydrothermal vents (9°50 N, East Pacific Rise)
Timothy M. Shank,Daniel J. Fornari,Karen L. Von Damm,Marvin D. Lilley,Rachel M. Haymon,Richard A. Lutz +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of events in low-temperature venting areas were observed to be the consequence of an intimate interaction of the life-history strategies of individual species, physical oceanographic processes, and the dynamic hydrothermal environment.
