Title: Drilling Program traces fluid circulation through Juan de Fuca Ridge Crust
Abstract: Scientists are gaining new insights about hydrothermal circulation through the crust of mid‐ocean ridge flanks from the results of a drilling experiment on the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, located roughly 200 km off the coast of Vancouver Island. At oceanic ridges such as the Juan de Fuca, circulating water carries heat from cooling lithospheric plates and influences the chemistry of the oceans and the composition of oceanic crust.
