Carbon emissions along divergent plate boundaries modulate icehouse-greenhouse climates
Carbon emissions along divergent plate boundaries modulate icehouse-greenhouse climate transitions through mid-ocean ridge and rift degassing.
How mantle plumes steer spreading ridges
Our paper in Nature Communications reveals a new mechanism for mid-ocean ridge migration: plumes with high buoyancy flux can capture and anchor ridges in place, and when they wane, …
Spreading ridge migration enabled by plume-ridge de-anchoring
Numerical modelling shows that high-buoyancy mantle plumes can capture and de-anchor spreading ridges, enabling their migration over vast distances.
