AGU Journal highlights -- Jan. 10, 2008 Jan 15, 2008
As spreading rates decrease, magma cools and the lithosphere thickens along the ridge axis. At ultraslow spreading rates, the ridge axis becomes sufficiently cold that magma crystallizes and volcanism is limited to localized centers widely spaced along the ridge ... Through these calculations, the authors define the threshold effective spreading rate at which spreading shifts from slow to ultraslow, and conclude that this transition is not related to a change in melt productivity, but rather to...

Going Greens: Leafy signs of spring are good and good for you May 10, 2007
You decide it's tasty, with a cabbage flavor much milder than the magma mustard that was so hot it made you cough and cry. Because the farm starts many greens in the fall and grows them under cover, Ms. Sands and her husband have been harvesting and selling them all winter, even when there was so much snow that they had to ski to the hoop house.
