Gravity Data Reveal New Evidence of an Axial Magma Chamber Beneath Segment 27 in the Southwest Indian Ridge

Hydrothermal systems are integral to mid-ocean ridge activity; they form massive seafloor sulfide (SMS) deposits rich in various metallic elements, which are potential mineral resources. Since 2007, many hydrothermal fields have been discovered along the ultraslow-spreading Southwest Indian Ridge (S...
