“…In particular, the research findings of expeditions to the Trans-Atlantic Geotraverse [TAG], Manus Basin and Juan de Fuca Ridge have provided important insights into the nature of fluid rock interaction and fluid mixing in the development of seafloor hydrothermal systems in different tectonic settings (Barriga et al, 2000;Fouquet et al, 1997;Humphris et al, 1995Lackschewitz et al, 2004;Mottl et al, 1994;Paulick and Bach, 2006;Roberts et al, 2003;Teagle et al, 1998;Webber et al, 2011). This work has been complemented by countless other scientific and industry-funded cruises to hydrothermal fields worldwide (Connelly et al, 2012;de Ronde et al, 2005;Glasby et al, 2008;Hannington et al, 2005 and references therein; Ishibashi et al, 2015;McConachy et al, 2005;Petersen et al, 2014;Yeats et al, 2014;Webber et al, 2015).…”
