InterRidge promotes interdisciplinary, international studies of oceanic spreading centers by creating a global research community, planning and coordinating new science programs that no single nation can achieve alone, exchanging scientific information, and sharing new technologies and facilities. InterRidge is dedicated to reaching out to the public, scientists and governments, and to providing a unified voice for ocean ridge researchers worldwide.
Welcome from the new InterRidge office
First, we would like to congratulate and thank Jian Lin, Chris German and Stace Beaulieu for running the InterRidge Office at WHOI these past 3 years. Their enthusiasm and leadership has ensured InterRidge has continued to be the most effective medium for international collaboration in mid-ocean ridge studies. So, here is a big THANK YOU from all of us in the InterRidge family.
InterRidge Newsletter 2009
 |
The InterRidge Office is pleased to announce that InterRidge News, Vol. 18, 2009, is now available on our website at: http://www.interridge.org/IRNewsletter This year's issue features research articles on oceanic core complexes and hydrothermal vents on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, provides updates from working groups, member nations and InterRidge Fellows, and lists upcoming cruises and events. |
Call for papers on the East Pacific Rise
We are currently compiling a group of papers on the Ridge 2000 integrated study site at the East Pacific Rise for a special volume in Geobiology (citation index 3.8). The contents of the papers currently proposed range from geochemistry to microbiology to time-series plume fluxes at the 9°50’ EPR vent sites, but could broaden out disciplinarily and locality to include 8 - 11°N EPR. We would therefore like to hear from those of you in the Ridge community who would be interested in submitting their research to such a journal.
