Journal Article
Yeo, I., Searle, R. C., Achenbach, K. L., Le Bas, T. P., & Murton, B. J. (2012). Eruptive hummocks : building blocks of the upper ocean crust. Geology, 40(1), 91-94. https://doi.org/10.1130/g31892.1

The spreading axis at many slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges is marked by an axial volcanic ridge. In this study, we use a combination of high-resolution remote sensing methods to elucidate the detailed nature of volcanoes in such a ridge. We find that...

Structure and development of an Axial Volcanic Ridge: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 45°N (2010)
Journal Article
Searle, R., Murton, B., Achenbach, K., LeBas, T., Tivey, M., Yeo, I., …Waters, C. (2010). Structure and development of an Axial Volcanic Ridge: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 45°N. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 299(1-2), 228-241. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2010.09.003

We describe the most comprehensive and detailed high resolution survey of an axial volcanic ridge (AVR) ever conducted, at 45°N on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. We use 3 m resolution sidescan sonar, deep-towed magnetic field measurements, video observation... Read More about Structure and development of an Axial Volcanic Ridge: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 45°N.
