This is a renewal of studies of volcanological phenomena at a superfast spreading mid-ocean ridge, with data from the southern East Pacific Rise. Mapping and sampling of seven lava flow sequences have been completed and has revealed that their size, along-axis continuity, internal chemical heteorgeneity, and relation to other lava sequences within individual ridge segments has implications for magmatic processes occurring in sub-axial magma chambers. The processes underlying the production of chemical heterogeneity in erupted lavas can now be studied, as well as the how the various magmatic processes operate on inter- and intra-eruption timescales.

这是对超快速传播的中山山脊上火山学现象的研究的续签，其中包括来自东太平洋南部的崛起的数据。 七个熔岩流序列的映射和采样已经完成，并揭示了它们的大小，轴连续性，内部化学性质性以及与单个山脊段内的其他熔岩序列的关系，对在亚轴岩浆室中发生的岩浆过程的影响。 现在可以研究爆发的熔岩中化学异质性产生的过程，以及各种岩浆过程如何在爆发时间内和爆发时间表上运作的过程。
