| Title | PLUME Expedition (PLUM) |
| Abstract | This research is designed to test several hypotheses concerning the dynamic processes responsible for creating the spatial and temporal variations in ridge geometry on the slow-intermediate spreading rate ridge system in the South Atlantic from 31-36S. The basic thrust of the experiments is to explore the nature of mantle convection in the vicinity of a spreading center and its role in modifying su rface geometry and morphology of the ridge-transform system. |
