Rock samples collected by dredging in the Scotia Sea during February and March 2004
Sampling was undertaken within the West Scotia Sea in an attempt to identify the boundary between the Pacific and Bouvet mantle domains and so understand, quantify and document the flow of mantle - which is important for understanding globa...
Dredge sampling information from the Scotia Sea collected during February and March 2004
The target area was along the eastern segments of the West Scotia Ridge, an ocean spreading centre which stopped spreading about 10 million years ago. The spreading centre has high topographic relief and contains an axial rift, which has fl...

Geochemical analysis of rock samples collected by dredging in the Scotia Sea during February and March 2004
The initial aim of this project was to carry out a higher resolution geochemical study of mantle flow using existing samples. This confirmed flow from the Bouvet domain into the East Scotia Sea and placed constraints on flow pathways. The s...
