Insights into the evolution of an oceanic hydrothermal system and a method for constraining estimates of the vigor of hydrothermal convection
The permeability of the oceanic crust is the primary hydrologic parameter that controls the geometry, the vigor, and the duration of hydrothermal fluid flow at mid-ocean ridges. The coupling of fluid flow, temperature, and chemistry and the effect of the permeability on these coupled processes are a...
