Dear Colleagues,

We wish to draw your attention to the following 2018Fall AGU session.


*V029: **New Insights into Oceanic Spreading Centers from
Seafloor Observatories*

****

Oceanic spreading centers are
complex settings in which geological, hydrothermal, biological and
oceanographic processes all interact. The challenges of understanding
these systems and of capturing the volcanic and tectonic events
responsible for forming the ocean crust has led to the establishment of
longterm multidisciplinary seafloor observatories (e.g., Ocean
Observatories Initiative, Ocean Networks Canada, European
Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory). The resulting
datasets require exploration, integration, and modeling at a level that
cumulatively must transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries. The
goal of this session is to bring together the broad research community
working on data from seafloor observatories and complementary
experiments at oceanic spreading centers to understand 1) magma supply,
storage and emplacement 2) the dynamic hydrothermal system that link the
geosphere to the ocean and 3) the associated seafloor ecosystems. We
particularly encourage submissions that seek to integrate and model
disparate data sets.
