{"product_id":"back-arc-spreading-systems-isbn-9780875904313","title":"Back-Arc Spreading Systems","description":"Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 166.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew ocean crust is continuously created where tectonic plates diverge. A distinctive type of oceanic crust is formed by back-arc spreading systems that parallel oceanic island arcs on the side away from the subducting plate. Volatile-rich and spatially variable, back-arc spreading systems are a natural laboratory for multi-disciplinary studies of seafloor creation, the flow of magma from the deep earth, and the hydrothermal ecosystems that this flow sustains. \u003cp\u003eDerived from the prestigious Ridge 2000 InterRidge Theoretical Institute held in 2004, \u003ci\u003eBack-Arc Spreading Systems: Geological, Biological, Chemical, and Physical Interactions\u003c\/i\u003e reviews the state of the science, with select case studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExperienced researchers in, and students of, marine geology, biological oceanography, marine geochemistry, volcanology, petrology, and geo- and paleomagnetism will find this volume a significant resource now and for the near future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDavid M Christie and Charles R Fisher vii\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGeological, Biological, Chemical, and Physical Interactions in Back-Arc Spreading Systems— An Introduction 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDavid M Christie and Charles R Fisher\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSynthesis Papers\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eModes of Crustal Accretion in Back-Arc Basins: Inferences From the Lau Basin 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFernando Martinez and Brian Taylor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePresent-Day Tectonics in Four Active Island Arcs Based on GPS Observations and Forearc Stress Fields\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTeruyuki Kato and Atsuki Kubo 31\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMantle Structure and Flow Patterns Beneath Active Back-Arc Basins Inferred From Passive Seismic and Electromagnetic Methods 43\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDouglas A Wiens, Nobukazu Seama, and James A Conder\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrigin of Back-Arc Basin Magmas: Trace Element and Isotope Perspectives 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJulian A Pearce and Robert J Stern\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChemical Systematics and Hydrous Melting of the Mantle in Back-Arc Basins 87\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eC.H Langmuir, A Bézos, S Escrig, and S.W Parman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnique Geochemistry of Submarine Hydrothermal Fluids From Arc–Back-Arc Settings of the Western Pacific 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eToshitaka Gamo, Junichiro Ishibashi, Urumu Tsunogai, Kei Okamura, and Hitoshi Chiba\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMagmatic Fluids as a Source of Metals in Seafloor Hydrothermal Systems 163\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKaihui Yang and Steven D Scott\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMicrobial Ecology of Mid-Ocean Ridges and Back-Arc Basins 185\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKen Takai, Satoshi Nakagawa, Anna-Louise Reysenbach, and Joost Hoek\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComposition and Biogeography of Hydrothermal Vent Communities in Western Pacific Back-Arc Basins 215\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDaniel Desbruyères, Jun Hashimoto, and Marie-Claire Fabri\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhysiological Ecology of Back-Arc Basin Fauna: Explorations of the Known and Unknown 235\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJames J Childress, Dijanna Figueroa, and Michael Henry\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCase Studies\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe East Scotia Sea: Mantle to Microbe 243\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoy Livermore\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTectonic and Magmatic Evolution of the Bismarck Sea, Papua New Guinea: Review and New Synthesis 263\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSang-Mook Lee and Etienne Ruellan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrigin of Diverse Geochemical Signatures in Igneous Rocks From the West Philippine Basin: Implications for Tectonic Models 287\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRosemary Hickey-Vargas, Ivan P Savov, Michael Bizimis, Teruaki Ishii, and Kantaro Fujioka\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDavid M.
