Description: MNF Southern Surveyor research voyage SS2012_v02.The northern Lau Backarc Basin: magmatism, tectonics, and hydrothermal activity. Scientific Objectives: The northern Lau Basin is a region of rapidly extending and newly-forming crust, seamed by multiple zones of sea-floor spreading, rifting, and faulting consequent to the clockwise rotation of the Tonga Arc away from the Fiji-Lau Ridge (Fig. 1a). Demise of the former Vitiaz Arc has led to the establishment of a new Australian-Pacific plate boundary that wraps around the north end of Fiji, and connects with the Tonga Trench via a set of ridges (e.g., Futuna Spreading Centre, Northwest Lau Spreading Centre), rifts (e.g., Rochambeau Rifts), transform faults, and extension zones (Fig. 1b). Voyage ss2012-v02 will explore via a west to east reconnaissance of these tectonic elements, the accompanying magmatism and hydrothermal activity. The principal investigators and their shipboard scientific colleagues will collaborate in studies of the petrology and geochemistry of the volcanic rocks (including major and trace element abundances, isotopic characteristics), and water column geochemical compositions.
