Magma to Microbe: Modeling Hydrothermal Processes at Oceanic Spreading Centers by Robert P. Lowell, Jeffrey S. Seewald, Anna Metaxas, Michael R. Perfit
English | 2008 | ISBN: 0875904432 | 285 Pages | PDF | 39.6 MB
Hydrothermal systems at oceanic spreading centers reflect the complex interactions among transport, cooling and crystallization of magma, fluid circulation in the crust, tectonic processes, water-rock interaction, and the utilization of hydrothermal fluids as a metabolic energy source by microbial and macro-biological ecosystems.
