    Deep high-temperature hydrothermal circulation in a detachment faulting system on the ultra-slow spreading ridge

    Coupled magmatic and tectonic activity plays an important role in high-temperature hydrothermal circulation at mid-ocean ridges. The circulation patterns for such systems have been elucidated by microearthquak...

    Melt Stability and Compaction in a Partially Molten Silicate Layer Heated from Below

    In this paper, the possibility of convective or Rayleigh-Taylor instability in a growing layer of partially molten material, heated from below, is investigated. The relative importance of matrix compaction and...
