New insights into how the interaction of young basalt with seawater influences the elemental budget of the oceanic crust
Geochemical studies of the fluids filling two of the cased boreholes, 1979 (SE-01) and 2017 (SE-03), by Barbara Kleine and other geochemists at University of Iceland, gives new insights into how the i... Read More
Lithofacies in SUSTAIN drill cores, Surtsey Research
The texture, mineralogy, grain size, and depositional environments of Surtsey basalt in the 2017 drill cores are described. The originally fresh, unconsolidated ash and lapilli are entirely lithified ... Read More
