Stable isotopic composition of upper oceanic crust formed at a fast spreading ridge, ODP Site 801
[1] ODP Legs 129 and 185 sampled the upper 474 m of 170 Ma ocean crust in the western Pacific in order to investigate alteration processes in fast spread crust and to determine inputs to subduction. Fourteen composite bulk samples of altered upper oceanic crust from Site 801 have dO = 8.7–25.7%, dD = 69.4% to 90.4%, and dC = 2.7% to 1.8%. The intensity of alteration and the amount of sediment w...
متن کاملMicrobial Inventory of Deeply Buried Oceanic Crust from a Young Ridge Flank
The deep marine biosphere has over the past decades been exposed as an immense habitat for microorganisms with wide-reaching implications for our understanding of life on Earth. Recent advances in knowledge concerning this biosphere have been achieved mainly through extensive microbial and geochemical studies of deep marine sediments. However, the oceanic crust buried beneath the sediments, is ...
متن کاملAnomalous K-Pg–aged seafloor attributed to impact-induced mid-ocean ridge magmatism
Eruptive phenomena at all scales, from hydrothermal geysers to flood basalts, can potentially be initiated or modulated by external mechanical perturbations. We present evidence for the triggering of magmatism on a global scale by the Chicxulub meteorite impact at the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary, recorded by transiently increased crustal production at mid-ocean ridges. Concentrated pos...
متن کاملDoes sea level influence mid-ocean ridge magmatism on Milankovitch timescales?
[1] Magma production at mid-ocean ridges is driven by seafloor spreading and decompression melting of the upper mantle. In the special case of Iceland, mantle melting may have been amplified by ice sheet retreat during the last deglaciation, yielding anomalously high rates of subaerial volcanism. For the remainder of the global mid-ocean ridge system, the ocean may play an analogous role, with ...
متن کاملPermeability within Basaltic Oceanic Crust
Water-rock interactions within the seafloor are responsible for significant energy and solute fluxes between basaltic oceanic crust and the overlying ocean. Permeability is the primary hydrologic property controlling the form, intensity, and duration of seafloor fluid circulation, but after several decades of characterizing shallow oceanic basement, we are still learning how permeability is cre...
