• Discovery of active off-axis hydrothermal vents at 9° 54′N East Pacific Rise 

      McDermott, Jill M.; Parnell-Turner, Ross; Barreyre, Thibaut; Herrera, Santiago; Downing, Connor C.; Pittoors, Nicole C.; Pehr, Kelden; Vohsen, Samuel A.; Dowd, William S.; Wu, Jyun-Nai; Marjanović, Milena; Fornari, Daniel J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Comprehensive knowledge of the distribution of active hydrothermal vent fields along midocean ridges is essential to understanding global chemical and heat fluxes and endemic faunal distributions. However, current knowledge ...
    • Extent and Volume of Lava Flows Erupted at 9°50′N, East Pacific Rise in 2005–2006 From Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Surveys 

      Wu, Jyun-Nai; Parnell-Turner, Ross; Fornari, Daniel J.; Kurras, Gregory; Berrios-Rivera, Natalia; Barreyre, Thibaut; McDermott, Jill M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Seafloor volcanic eruptions are difficult to directly observe due to lengthy eruption cycles and the remote location of mid-ocean ridges. Volcanic eruptions in 2005–2006 at 9°50′N on the East Pacific Rise have been well ...
    • The Role of On- and Off-Axis Faults and Fissures During Eruption Cycles and Crustal Accretion at 9°50′N, East Pacific Rise 

      Wu, Jyun-Nai; Parnell-Turner, Ross; Fornari, Daniel J.; Berrios-Rivera, Natalia; Barreyre, Thibaut; McDermott, Jill M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Fissures and faults provide insight into how plate separation is accommodated by magmatism and brittle deformation during crustal accretion. Although fissure and fault geometry can be used to quantify the spreading process ...
    • Significance of Short-Wavelength Magnetic Anomaly Low Along the East Pacific Rise Axis, 9°50′N 

      Berrios-Rivera, Natalia; Gee, Jeffrey S.; Parnell-Turner, Ross; Maher, Sarah; Wu, Jyun-Nai; Fornari, Daniel; Tivey, Maurice; Marjanović, Milena; Barreyre, Thibaut; McDermott, Jill (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Magnetic anomaly variations near mid-ocean ridge spreading centers are sensitive to a variety of crustal accretionary processes as well as geomagnetic field variations when the crust forms. We collected near-bottom vector ...
