Objective | The Indian ridge is a typical example of an ultra slow (0.7 cm/year half-rate) and cold ridge. The objective was to use systematic sampling to characterize the rate of partial fusion, any heterogeneities in the Indian Ocean mantle, the crustal structure and water/rock interactions. This falls under the DORSALES programme. |
