Ridge 2000 is an interdisciplinary initiative to study Earth's oceanic spreading ridge system as an integrated whole, from its inception in the mantle to its manifestations in the biosphere and water column. The Ridge 2000 program is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

Each month, we highlight a paper that demonstrates the integration and
synthesis of data collected at mid-ocean ridges. To recommend a "Featured Paper", please contact the
