Mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) along the Gakkel Ridge in the Arctic Eurasian basin have varying levels of trace element enrichment. The purpose of this research is to determine the extent to which the trace element enrichment of basalts along the Gakkel Ridge is influenced by magmatic differentiati...
