This new research advances our understanding of suitable environments for natural hydrogen generation,” said Sascha Brune, section chief of the Geodynamic Modelling Section at GFZ, in a statement that ...

The RIDGE 2000 program works to understand the geobiological, geochemical and geophysical causes and consequences of energy transfer within the globe-encircling mid-ocean ridge system.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a massive underwater mountain range that runs through the Atlantic Ocean. It marks the boundary between tectonic plates and is a hotspot for geological activity. Researchers ...

Mid-ocean ridges represent regions of the planet where volcanic activity is generating fresh oceanic crust and submarine mountain chains -- known as axial volcanic ridges -- as two tectonic plates ...

An ancient, hidden mountain range has been discovered above a hotspot lying amongst the strongest ocean current on Earth. The discovery was made by researchers on board a voyage in the Southern ...

Researchers in a submersible could hardly believe their eyes, or their luck, when they saw a clearly active eruption along an undersea volcanic mountain chain.

Andrew Wozniak For the first time, scientists have witnessed an active seafloor volcanic eruption along a mid-ocean ridge.

This was the first time scientists had witnessed a clearly active eruption along the mid-ocean ridge, a volcanic mountain chain that stretches about 40,000 miles around the globe, like the seams ...

Scientists in an expedition to the Mid-Atlantic ocean ridge lifted almost a mile of precious rocks from beneath an exotic feature linked to life’s possible beginning.
