Geotimes December 2003 Sara Pratt	Ultraslow spreading centers In two of the deepest and most remote parts of the world, scientists have discovered a new class of "ultraslow" spreading ridge, where cold, solid slabs of mantle are being heaved to the surface to build new seafloor.
Geotimes February 2005 Joshua Zaffos	Mid-Ocean Ridge Spread or Jam? Different spreading geologic ridges move at different rates, and new research may explain how changes in spreading rates affect heat distribution and crust development at the ridges, particularly the slow ones.
Geotimes January 2007 Kathryn Hansen	Eruptive Event Caught Red-Handed Researchers know that, in general, mid-ocean ridges are the site of periodic eruptive events that create new seafloor. At the East Pacific Rise, determining the seismic characteristics that lead up to eruptions could help researchers predict when and where along the trench future events are likely to occur.
