Tectonic, magmatic and hydrothermal evolution of ocean floor spreading at Macquarie Island
Macquarie Island offers a rare land-based cross-section through the deep ocean floor, which covers 60% of our Earth. It formed 11 million years ago as slow spreading crust, which has had minimal study compared to more common fastspreading crust. Does the difference in spreading speed produce differe...

Macquarie Island offers a rare land-based cross-section through the deep ocean floor, which covers 60% of our Earth. It formed 11 million years ago as slow spreading crust, which has had minimal study compared to more common fastspreading crust. Does the difference in spreading speed produce different crustal geometry, composition, hydrothermal fluids, and cycling of sulfur between ocean and crust? To gain insights to these and related questions, we propose to study uplifted and eroded sections through a series of fault zones, spaced along the length of Macquarie Island, which were the last magmatic, structural and hydrothermal events to occur before shifting stresses drove the seafloor up to form the Macquarie Ridge mountain chain.
