Effect of Paleoseawater Composition on Hydrothermal Exchange in Mid-Ocean Ridges

Mike Antonelli is the lead author on a new paper we have out in PNAS that explores the relationship between seawater composition and chemical exchange in mid ocean ridge hydrothermal systems. We are now working on a related NSF funded project to better understand chemical and isotopic exchange at ocean ridges. Read Mike's paper here.
