Transform-to-thrust reactivation of a fossil back-arc spreading system: Evidence from marine magnetic anomalies in the East Sea (Japan Sea)

Transform faults contain rheological weaknesses that can be reactivated into either divergent or convergent boundaries, depending on tectonic stress regime. While rifting triggered from transform fault is well documented, geophysical evidence demonstrating compressional reactivat...

Melt burst events in a dominantly amagmatic lithosphere at Gakkel Ridge in the Arctic Ocean

Abstract Alternation of magmatic and amagmatic seafloor along the slow and ultraslow spreading ridges is common. Yet, temporal variation is obscured by sediments blanketing oceanic basement away from spreading centers. Here we analyze aeromagnetic data covering zero age to ~35 Ma...
