Heat transfer from a convecting crystallizing, replenished magmatic sill and its link to seafloor hydrothermal heat output
Hydrothermal systems at oceanic spreading centers play an important role in the composition of seawater, the formation of ore deposits, the support of microbial and macrofaunal ecosystems, and even for the development of life on early earth. These circulation systems are driven by heat transport fr...
