Missing history (16–71 Ma) of the Gala´pagos hotspot: Implications
... Ma. Greater accretion during the earlier history of the hotspot probably reflects higher magma production rates, and subduction of younger (and thus hotter and more buoyant, as well as less eroded and thus higher) volcanic structures, because the hotspot was closer to the trench. Some gaps in the Ga ...

EFFECTS OF CHANGING TEMPERATURES ON CORAL REEF

Coral reefs are particularly vulnerable to rises in ocean temperature as a result of climate change because they already live near their thermal limits. However, we know little about the spatial patterns ...
