Deep Mantle Anomalies Block Early Earth Melting, Challenging a Primordial Origin Open
Earth’s deep mantle hosts enigmatic structures known as Large Low Velocity Provinces (LLVPs), which sit atop the core–mantle boundary and influence mantle dynamics and plume generation. Understanding their origin is central to reconstructi…

Probing Earth’s interior with neutrinos: sensitivity kernels for a 1-dimensional Earth model Open
Neutrino oscillation tomography is potentially a method for probing the properties of Earth's deep interior, complementing classical geophysical and geochemical methods. It relies on the detection of neutrinos, subatomic particles that int…

Neutrino oscillations investigation of the base-of-the-mantle structure: simulation tools and preliminary results Open
The origin of Large Low-Velocity Provinces (LLVPs) at the base of mantle remains a mystery, but particle physics may be able to provide another piece of the puzzle. Using a phenomenon known as neutrino oscillation, atmospheric neutrino exp…

Prospects of Neutrino Oscillation Tomography of the Earth  Open
Much has been learned about the deep Earth through a combination of geophysical constraints, theories of Earth’s formation, and seismic measurements. However, such methods alone cannot directly resolve the full structure of the inner…

Integrating Multidisciplinary Observations in Vent Environments (IMOVE): Decadal Progress in Deep-Sea Observatories at Hydrothermal Vents Open
The unique ecosystems and biodiversity associated with mid-ocean ridge (MOR) hydrothermal vent systems contrast sharply with surrounding deep-sea habitats, however both may be increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activity (e.g., mining…

Influence of fault zones on the self-organization of hydrothermal outflow and recharge: Constraints from analog experiments Open
Hydrothermal circulation at the axis of mid-ocean ridges profoundly affects chemical and biological processes in the deep ocean and influences the thermo-mechanical state of young oceanic lithosphere. Yet, the sub-seafloor geometry of flui…

Variable Crustal Production Originating From Mantle Source Heterogeneity Beneath the South East Indian Ridge and Amsterdam‐St. Paul Plateau Open
The Amsterdam‐St. Paul (ASP) Plateau formed by interaction between the South East Indian Ridge (SEIR) and the ASP mantle plume during the last 10 Myr. The combined bathymetry and gravity‐derived crustal thickness anomalies along the presen…

Late Miocene rejuvenation of central Idaho landscape evolution: A case for surface processes driven by plume-lithosphere interaction Open
We utilized field measurements of erosion rates and topographic analyses to constrain the timing and magnitude of landscape rejuvenation on the western flank of the Rocky Mountains in central Idaho, United States. Deeply incised canyons of…

The Final Stages of Slip and Volcanism on an Oceanic Detachment Fault at 13°48′N, Mid‐Atlantic Ridge Open
While processes associated with initiation and maintenance of oceanic detachment faults are becoming better constrained, much less is known about the tectonic and magmatic conditions that lead to fault abandonment. Here we present results …

Crustal magnetization and the subseafloor structure of the ASHES vent field, Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge: Implications for the investigation of hydrothermal sites Open
High‐resolution geophysical data have been collected using the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Sentry over the ASHES (Axial Seamount Hydrothermal Emission Study) high‐temperature (~348°C) vent field at Axial Seamount, on the Juan de Fu…

Diffuse venting at the ASHES hydrothermal field: Heat flux and tidally modulated flow variability derived from in situ time‐series measurements Open
Time‐series measurements of diffuse exit‐fluid temperature and velocity collected with a new, deep‐sea camera, and temperature measurement system, the Diffuse Effluent Measurement System (DEMS), were examined from a fracture network within…
