	abstract = {Active ridge propagation frequently occurs along spreading ridges and profoundly affects ridge crest segmentation over time. The mechanisms controlling ridge propagation, however, are poorly understood. At the slow spreading Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 21.5{\textdegree}N a seismic refraction and wide-angle reflection profile surveyed the crustal structure along a segment controlled by rapid ridge propagation. Tomographic traveltime inversion of seismic data suggests that the crustal structure along the ridge axis is controlled by melt supply; thus, crust is thickest, 8 km, at the domed segment center and decreases in thickness toward both segment ends. However, thicker crust is formed in the direction of ridge propagation, suggesting that melt is preferentially transferred toward the propagating ridge tip. Further, while seismic layer 2 remains constant along axis, seismic layer 3 shows profound changes in thickness, governing variations in total crustal thickness. This feature supports mantle upwelling at the segment center. Thus, fluid basaltic melt is redistributed easily laterally, while more viscose gabbroic melt tends to crystallize and accrete nearer to the locus of melt supply. The onset of propagation seems to have coincided with the formation of thicker crust, suggesting that propagation initiation might be due to changes in the melt supply. After a rapid initiation a continuous process of propagation was established. The propagation rate seems to be controlled by the amount of magma that reaches the segment ends. The strength of upwelling may govern the evolution of ridge segments and hence ultimately controls the propagation length. Copyright 2011 by the American Geophysical Union.},

	abstract = {Three thousand kilometres of multichannel (MCS) and wide-angle seismic profiles, gravity and magnetic, multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data were recorded in the offshore area of the west coast of Mexico and the Gulf of California during the spring 1996 (CORTES survey). The seismic images obtained off Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in the Jalisco subduction zone extend from the oceanic domain up to the continental shelf, and significantly improve the knowledge of the internal crustal structure of the subduction zone between the Rivera and North American (NA) Plates. Analyzing the crustal images, we differentiate: (1) An oceanic domain with an important variation in sediment thickness ranging from 2.5 to 1 km southwards; (2) an accretionary prism comprised of highly deformed sediments, extending for a maximum width of 15 km; (3) a deformed forearc basin domain which is 25 km wide in the northern section, and is not seen towards the south where the continental slope connects directly with the accretionary prism and trench, thus suggesting a different deformational process; and (4) a continental domain consisting of a continental slope and a mid slope terrace, with a bottom simulating reflector (BSR) identified in the first second of the MCS profiles. The existence of a developed accretionary prism suggests a subduction-accretion type tectonic regime. Detailed analysis of the seismic reflection data in the oceanic domain reveals high amplitude reflections at around 6 s [two way travel time (twtt)] that clearly define the subduction plane. At 2 s (twtt) depth we identify a strong reflection which we interpret as the Moho discontinuity. We have measured a mean dip angle of 7{\textdegree} {\textpm} 1{\textdegree} at the subduction zone where the Rivera Plate begins to subduct, with the dip angle gently increasing towards the south. The oceanic crust has a mean crustal thickness of 6.0-6.5 km. We also find evidence indicating that the Rivera Plate possibly subducts at very low angles beneath the Tres Marias Islands. {\textcopyright} 2010 Springer Basel AG.},

	abstract = {Multichannel seismic reflection images across the transition between the east Albor{\'a}n and the Algero-Balearic basins show how crustal thickness decreases from about 5 s two-way traveltime (TWTT, \~{}15 km thick) in the west (east Albor{\'a}n basin) to \~{}2 s TWTT typical of oceanic crust (\~{}6 km thick) in the east (Algero-Balearic basin). We have differentiated three different crustal domains in this transition, mainly on the basis of crustal thickness and seismic signature. Boundaries between the three crustal domains are transitional and lack evidence for major faults. Tilted blocks related to extension are very scarce and all sampled basement outcrops are volcanic, suggesting a strong relationship between magmatism and crustal structure. Stratigraphic correlation of lithoseismic units with sedimentary units of southeastern Betic basins indicates that sediments onlap igneous basement approximately at 12 Ma in the eastern area and at 8 Ma in the western area. Linking seismic crustal structure with magmatic geochemical evidence suggests that the three differentiated crustal domains may represent, from west to east, thin continental crust modified by arc magmatism, magmatic-arc crust, and oceanic crust. Middle to late Miocene arc and oceanic crust formation in the east Albor{\'a}n and Algero-Balearic basins, respectively, occurred during westward migration of the Gibraltar accretionary wedge and shortening in the Betic-Rif foreland basins. Arc magmatism and associated backarc oceanic crust formation were related to early to middle Miocene subduction and rollback of the Flysch Trough oceanic basement. Subduction of this narrow slab beneath the Albor{\'a}n basin was coeval with collision of the Albor{\'a}n domain with the Iberian and African passive margins and subsequent subcontinental- lithosphere edge delamination along the Betic-Rif margins.

	abstract = {At present there is no single "unified theory" capable of explaining the variety of geological, geophysical, and geochemical observations that characterize what is generically known as hotspot magmatism. An increasing number of geophysical and geo- chemical observations disagree with the predictions of the conventional thermal plume model, in which excess melting is due mainly to high mantle temperatures. Other parameters such as the presence of water or the composition of the mantle source have been shown to be as important as temperature in controlling the structure and physical properties of the igneous crust. In this article we first emphasize the importance of doing proper velocity and density modeling, including comprehensive uncertainty analysis, to determine how well resolved the geophysical parameters actually are. We show that in some cases the contribution of velocity-derived lateral crustal density variations can be sufficiently significant to account for the observed gravity and topography anomalies without calling for noticeable mantle density contrasts. Next we show that the comparison of crustal geometry obtained along age-progressive volcanic tracks enables temporal variations of the hotspot-ridge distance to be estimated. Finally we use a 2-D mantle melting model to illustrate the effect of different mantle melting parameters on the resulting crustal structure. The tests made indicate that it is difficult to find a plausible combination of mantle temperature, upwelling rate, melt productivity, and thickness of the melting zone to explain either the high-velocity, un- derplated bodies frequently described at midplate settings or the lack of a positive crustal thickness-velocity (H-Vp) correlation found at igneous provinces originated on-ridge. We suggest that the main parameter controlling the generation of volcanic underplating is the presence of a lithospheric lid limiting the extent of the mantle melting zone, whereas the H-Vp anticorrelation can be related to the presence of a major element heterogeneity, such as eclogite derived from recycled oceanic lithosphere, in the mantle source. {\textcopyright} 2007 The Geological Society of America.},
