In time for #EarthScienceWeek our paper published in Nature Communications today explores how mantle plumes can act as an anchor ⚓️ and impede spreading ridge migration. BUT if the plume weakens, it can de-anchor from the ridge and facilitate rapid ridge migration. rdcu.be/dXdKS

Very nice to host @geoniette.bsky.social at EarthByte as part of our Sydney Uni 🤝 Glasgow Uni Ignition Grant on how variations in subduction angle affect volcanism and porphyry copper formation. A great start the year with lots of productive conversations and collaborations!
