Call for papers on the East Pacific Rise

We are currently compiling a group of papers on the Ridge 2000 integrated study site at the East Pacific Rise for a special volume in Geobiology (citation index 3.8). The contents of the papers currently proposed range from geochemistry to microbiology to time-series plume fluxes at the 9°50’ EPR vent sites, but could broaden out disciplinarily and locality to include 8 - 11°N EPR. We would therefore like to hear from those of you in the Ridge community who would be interested in submitting their research to such a journal. Please contact Sarah Bennett (sabennet@usc.edu) and Katrina Edwards (kje@usc.edu) with a proposed title, author list and potential submission date.
