Mantle source heterogeneity and melting processes beneath seafloor spreading centers: The East Pacific Rise 18° - 19°S (1996)
Journal Article
Niu, Y., Waggoner, G., Sinton, J., & Mahoney, J. (1996). Mantle source heterogeneity and melting processes beneath seafloor spreading centers: The East Pacific Rise 18° - 19°S. Journal of Geophysical Research, 101(B12), 27711-27733. https://doi.org/10.1029/96jb01923

We present new major and trace element and Nd-Pb-Sr isotopic data on samples from the East Pacific Rise (EPR) axis and nearby seamounts in the Hump area, 18°–19°S. Most samples studied are normal mid-ocean ridge basalt (N-MORB); four samples from the...

Steady and non-steady state magma chambers below the East Pacific Rise (1996)
Journal Article
Batiza, R., Niu, Y., Karsten, J., Boger, W., Potts, E., Norby, L., & Butler, R. (1996). Steady and non-steady state magma chambers below the East Pacific Rise. Geophysical Research Letters, 23(3), 221-224. https://doi.org/10.1029/95gl00016

Volcanic rocks collected on flowline traverses on the flanks of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) document changes in axial magma chemistry with time, providing a record of the thermal history of axial magma chambers (AMC). We present data for a sample set... Read More about Steady and non-steady state magma chambers below the East Pacific Rise.
