How can international collaborations and data sharing advance our understanding of global processes like sea spreading?

Mar 29, 2017 ... Ocean acidification is occurring because the ocean is absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When seawater absorbs carbon dioxide, its ... Aug 1, 2009 ... Our models show that a high average seafloor spreading rate of 92 mm/a in the Early Cretaceous that decreased to 60 mm/a during the Tertiary, ... Active margins are sensitive to several subduction-related processes which include rapid opening and closure of neighboring basins. The stages of rifting, ... The stages of rifting, spreading and the cessation, of activity the South China Sea basin in Cenozoic appears to be coeval with the progressive closure of the ... Dec 1, 2018 ... Although the seafloor spreading Hess initially proposed was a virtually amagmatic process, little attention has been paid to that ... Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes ... Jan 4, 2021 ... As the basaltic rocks that erupted along mid-ocean ridges during seafloor spreading cool, they record the Earth's magnetic field at the time of ... Mar 30, 2016 ... The magmatic, tectonic, and hydrothermal processes forming the oceanic crust along mid- ocean spreading centers are strongly modified at ... Harry Hess was an instrumental figure in figuring out how plate tectonics worked. Hess possessed two valuable skills: careful attention to detail and the ... Apr 23, 2021 ... We use a compilation of earthquake and vertical gravity gradient data together with high-resolution bathymetry to show that ocean spreading is occurring ...
