Influence of the Iceland mantle plume on crustal accretion at the inflated Reykjanes Ridge: Magma lens and low hydrothermal activity? art. no. 2524

[1] A simple ridge model is applied to the hot spot-influenced, slow spreading Reykjanes Ridge in the North Atlantic to explore the effects of both mantle temperatures and hydrothermal cooling due to the Iceland mantle plume on the thermal structure and crustal accretion at this ridge. The objective...
