<abstract>
The spatial density of hydrothermal venting is strongly correlated with spreading rate on mid-ocean ridges (with the interesting exception of hot spot-affected ridges), evidently because spreading rate is a reliable proxy for the magma budget. This correlation remains untested on spreading ridges in back-arc basins, where the magma budget may be complicated by subduction-induced variations of the melt supply. To address this uncertainty, we conducted hydrothermal plume surveys along slow-spreading (40-60 mm/yr) and arc-proximal (10-60 km distant) sections of the southern Mariana Trough and the Valu Fa Ridge (Lau Basin). On both sections we found multiple plumes overlying similar to 15-20% of the total length of each section, a coverage comparable to mid-ocean ridges spreading at similar rates. These conditions contrast with earlier reported results from the two nearest-arc segments of a faster spreading (60-70 mm/yr) back-arc ridge, the East Scotia Ridge, which approaches no closer than 100 km to its arc. There, hydrothermal venting is relatively scarce (similar to 5% plume coverage) and the ridge characteristics are distinctly slow-spreading: small central volcanic highs bookended by deep median valleys, and axial melt lenses restricted to the volcanic highs. Two factors may contribute to an unexpectedly low hydrothermal budget on these East Scotia Ridge segments: they may lie too far from the adjacent arc to benefit from near-arc sources of melt supply, and subduction-aided migration of mantle from the Bouvet hot spot may reduce hydrothermal circulation by local crustal warming and thickening, analogous to the Reykjanes Ridge. Thus the pattern among these three ridge sections appears to mirror the larger global pattern defined by mid-ocean ridges: a well-defined trend of spreading rate versus hydrothermal activity on most ridge sections, plus a subset of ridge sections where unusual melt delivery conditions diminish the expected hydrothermal activity.

<abstract>
The relationship between the spatial density of hydrothermal venting (p(h)) and spreading rate ( us) is undefined along back-arc ridges. Here we report a continuous survey of hydrothermal plumes along the similar to 400-km-long Eastern Lau Spreading Center. The mean p(h)/u(s) ratio for each of three tectonic segments followed the global midocean ridge trend, with p(h) doubling as us increased northward from 39 to 96 mm/yr. However, we found little correlation between p(h) and the previously imaged distribution of axial melt lenses, which are near-continuous along the southern two segments but wholly absent along the northernmost segment. We infer that venting on the southern segments is melt driven, whereas venting on the northern ELSC is entirely powered with heat extracted by deep circulation through hot rock. This segment may be a rare example of an entire fast-spreading segment where hydrothermal convection cells are powered by downward-migrating cracking fronts.

<abstract>
The Tonga arc and associated Lau basin exhibit many geologically important processes that link subduction and mantle flow with plate separation and crustal production. We create seismic tomograms of the Tonga-Lau region by jointly inverting for Vp and Vp/Vs structure using data from the LABATTS ocean bottom seismograph experiment and several island deployments to better constrain dynamic processes in the mantle wedge. Jointly using P and S data can help distinguish between the various mechanisms responsible for seismic velocity anomalies such as temperature and the presence of melt and/or volatiles. Because high attenuation in the wedge limits the S wave data set, we focus on 2-D inversions beneath the linear OBS array where resolution is best and also parameterize the solution in terms of the Vp/Vs ratio. As expected, the subducting slab has fast Vp and Vs and a low Vp/Vs ratio, consistent with the cold downgoing plate. The Central Lau Spreading Center (CLSC) exhibits stronger anomalies in Vp/Vs than in Vp, with the anomalies larger than would be predicted purely by temperature variations. The CLSC anomaly extends &gt;100 km to the west of the axis, suggesting a broad region of melt production driven by passive upwelling from plate separation rather than active upwelling mechanisms. The anomaly is asymmetric about the axis, suggesting that slab-induced corner flow possibly influences mantle dynamics several hundred kilometers away from the arc. There is a strong anomaly beneath the volcanic arc that gradually deepens as it trends toward the back arc, likely outlining a hydrated region of melt production that feeds the volcanic front. Hydration possibly continues throughout the wedge to at least 400 km depth. The Lau ridge exhibits a thicker lithosphere relative to the rest of the Basin, while the Fiji platform likely has a thinner lithosphere than the Lau Ridge from more recent extension. There is also a reasonable likelihood of a small degree of partial melt in the uppermost mantle beneath the platform.

<abstract>
[1] The crustal structure across the Tonga-Lau arc-back arc system from the Lau Ridge to the Pacific Plate (178degrees-170degreesW, 18degrees19degreesS) is modeled, using data from an 840-km-long air gun refraction line over 19 ocean bottom seismometers and one land station. The data reveal that the Pacific Plate crust is 5.5 km thick, with a velocity structure similar to that found at the present-day East Pacific Rise (EPR). Beneath Tonga Ridge, an intermediate velocity layer (6-7 km/s) is up to 7.5 km thick and has a velocity-depth distribution similar to andesitic rocks found in continental crust. The crust is abnormally thin (4 km) at the boundary between the Tonga Ridge and the Lau Basin. At the east end of Lau Basin, the crust is 5.5-6.5 km thick and resembles crust formed at the EPR except for a thicker sheeted-dike section (2-3 km) and thinner lower crust (2 km). The Lau Basin crust thickens to 7-8 km near the Central Lau Spreading Center (CLSC), mostly through thickening of the lower crust. The crust thickens again to 8.5-9.5 km at 50 km west of the CLSC, mostly through thickening of the midcrust. In the thick westernmost section, the crustal structure is uniform even though one part of this section formed through extension of arc-type crust while the rest was created at an oceanic spreading center. The relative homogeneity of these rocks suggests that their petrology may be dominated by postemplacement magmatic infilling from a mantle source west of the spreading center.

<abstract>
The partition geochemistry and recent Mn accumulation rates have been studied in 14 sediment cores collected adjacent to the Eastern Lau Spreading Centre (ELSC) in the Lau Basin, SW Pacific. The sediments are oxic in nature, formed of ash with abundant nannofossil ooze and hydrothermal Mn oxides dispersed within the calcareous sediments. These oxides represent distal plume fallout derived mainly from the hydrothermal fields along the ELSC and possibly from the nearby Central Lau Spreading Centre (CLSC). Nickel, Mo, Pb and, to a lesser extent, Co and V are associated with the Mn-oxide phase, possibly scavenged by Mn precipitates. Only low proportions of Fe, Zn and Cu are found in the oxide phase, these elements being mainly associated with the detrital/altered-detrital sediment phases. Some peaks in the Mn distribution downcore appear to correlate among the cores studied, indicating common pulses of hydrothermal plume fallout, The similar Fe/Mn oxide ratios (1.4-1.9) in surficial sediments proximal to the Eastern and Central Lau Spreading Centres, suggest similar plume fallout compositions in these two areas. Mean Mn accumulation rates average 26 mg cm(-2) ka(-1). The hydrothermal sedimentation near the ELSC is probably related to a fully developed hydrothermal plumbing at the spreading centre and thus the ELSC has a good potential for hosting massive sulphide deposits, although a lower hydrothermal input at its northernmost tip may indicate a drop in magmatic activity and mineral potential in the oldest section of this spreading ridge.

<abstract>
Located west of the Tonga trench, the Lau back-arc basin is a prime environment for studying the interplay between oceanic spreading systems and an active subduction zone. Within the basin lie two complementary, intermediate-rate spreading systems, the Central Lau Spreading Center (CLSC) and the Eastern Lau Spreading Center/Valu Fa Ridge (ELSC/VFR), that are positioned 170 to 40 km away from the active volcanic arc, respectively. Multichannel seismic (MCS) images of both systems reveal systematic variations in axial crustal structure primarily related to the proximity of the volcanic arc, but also related to spreading rate, morphology, and petrology. Upper crustal refraction data selected from the along-axis seismic lines collected during the 1999 MCS survey were modeled in both the time-versus-range (t-x) and intercept time-versus-slowness ([tau]-p) domains to provide validation and detail to the seismic reflection observations. The results show that as both the proximity to the arc and the spreading rate decrease southward: 1) seismic layer 2A thickens by 0.6 km between the CLSC and VFR, from 0.4 km to 1.0 km, 2) the average depth of the axial magma chamber (AMC) increases from 1.5 km at the CLSC to 2.8 km at the southern VFR, excluding the northern section of the ELSC that shows no continuous AMC reflector, but does show an isolated melt sill, 3) the upper crustal basement velocity decreases from 2.1 km/s at the CLSC to 1.8 km/s at the VFR, and 4) the velocities of both layer 2A and 2B decrease between the CLSC and northern VFR from 3.2 to 2.5 km/s and 5.0 to 3.9 km/s, respectively. Along with a broad axial high morphology, these features of the CLSC -- thinner layer 2A, shallower AMC, and faster crustal velocities -- correlate best with the fast spreading East Pacific Rise and intermediate spreading Juan de Fuca Ridge. Conversely, the structural characteristics of the central ELSC/VFR have no known counterpart in the global mid-ocean ridge system. We attribute this primarily to the volatile concentration in the magmas coming from the Tonga subduction zone.

<abstract>
Measurements of chlorine concentrations in matrix glasses from 18 primitive (&gt; 6 wt% MgO) and eight evolved lavas from active spreading centers in the Lau Basin back-arc system provide insight into the processes which control chlorine concentrations in subduction-related magmas, and can be used to investigate chlorine enrichment related to fluids derived from the underlying subducted slab. Chlorine contents of the glasses are highly variable (0.008-0.835 wt%) and generally high with respect to uncontaminated mid-ocean ridge basalt. Chlorine contents are highest in fractionated lavas from propagating ridge tips and lowest in more primitive, basaltic lavas. Two different styles of enrichment in chlorine (relative to other incompatible elements) are recognized. Glasses from the Central Lau Spreading and Eastern Lau Spreading Center typically have low Ba/Nb ratios indicating minimal input of slab-derived components, and high to very high ratios of chlorine relative to K2O, H2O, and TiO2. This style of chlorine enrichment is highest in the most fractionated samples and is consistent with crustal assimilation of chlorine-rich altered ocean crust material. Data from the literature suggest that contamination by chlorine-rich seawater-derived components also characterizes the Woodlark Basin and North Fiji Basin back-arc systems. The second style of chlorine enrichment reflects input from slab-derived fluid(s) to the mantle wedge from the adjacent Tonga subduction zone. Basaltic glasses from the Valu Fa Ridge and Mangatolu Triple Junction show correlations between ratios of chlorine and K2O, H2O, and TiO2 and indices of slab-derived fluid input such as Ba/Nb, Ba/Th and U/Th, consistent with chlorine in these lavas originating from a saline fluid added to the mantle wedge. Within the Valu Fa Ridge the measured range of chlorine contents equates to a chlorine flux of 224-1120 kg/m/yr to the back-arc crust. Using a simple melting model and additional data from other back-arc and arc sample suites we conclude that chlorine is a major component within the slab fluids that contribute to many arc and back-arc melting systems, and probably plays an important role in regulating trace element transport by slab fluids in the mantle wedge. For the back-arc suites we have examined the estimated Cl/H2O and Cl/K2O ratios in the slab fluid component correlate with proximity to the arc front, suggesting that progressive dehydration of the slab and/or re-equilibration and transport within the mantle wedge may influence the overall degree of chlorine enrichment within the slab fluid component. The degree of chlorine enrichment observed in most back-arc lavas also appears too great to be explained solely by melting of amphibole, phlogopite or apatite within the mantle source and suggests that chlorine must be present in another phase, possibly a chlorine-rich fluid.

<abstract>
Along back-are ridges located near the arc volcanic front, crustal thickness is observed to vary systematically with arc proximity independent of spreading rate. This effect is especially well expressed by the similar to 400-km-long Eastern Lau Spreading Center (ELSC) where, approaching the arc volcanic front (from similar to 100 to 40 km), crustal thickness nearly doubles (similar to 5.5-9 km) as spreading rates decrease by more than half (97-39 mm/yr). The crustal thickness variations at the ELSC appear to result primarily from changes in mantle wedge composition caused by subduction. We investigated the effects of these large and opposed crustal thickness and spreading rate variations on ridge morphology, faulting, and hydrothermal activity as part of the first phase of RIDGE2000 Integrated Studies in the Lau back-are basin. We used deep-towed side-scan sonar instruments (DSL120A and IMI30) to continuously map the near-axis region within broader-coverage ship multibeam bathymetry and acoustic imagery swaths. An array of optical sensors (MAPRs) concurrently surveyed the near-bottom water for hydrothermal plume anomalies. Hydrocasts made at identified plume sites confirmed their hydrothermal origin. The data show that as spreading rates increase and crustal thicknesses decrease along the ELSC: (1) morphology transitions from shallow peaked volcanic highs to a deeper flat axis; (2) faults become larger and more widely spaced; (3) hydrothermal activity, as measured by plume incidence, increases and appears to reach levels higher than the global mid-ocean ridge trend with spreading rate. The observations indicate that crustal thickness (magma supply) has a greater control on ridge morphology and faulting than spreading rate, even at fast rates where the thermal lithosphere should be thin. However, heat input from mantle advection proportional to spreading rate, perhaps in combination with increased fault permeability, appears to have a greater control on hydrothermal activity than crustal thickness and the magmatic robustness of the ridge. Although subduction effects give rise to the opposed trends in crustal thickness and spreading rate at the ELSC, the observed effects may have generic implications for controls of seafloor spreading characteristics at mid-ocean ridges.

<abstract>
Hydrothermal Mn-oxide deposits from the Tonga-Kermadec Ridge and the Valu Fa Ridge back-arc spreading center in the Lau Basin have been studied mineralogically and by bulk and partition geochemical techniques. The Mn-oxides are present as three main morphological types; of these, a dense, grey submetallic material is most common. Common lamination of this material suggests an intermittent rate of formation, Mineralogically. the crusts comprise variable proportions of 10Angstrom and 7Angstrom manganite, Concentrations of some trace elements, including Li. Mo, and Zn are generally significantly higher than those observed in Mn-crusts of hydrogenous origin, suggesting that the observed trace clement enrichments are due to a hydrothermal source. Both temporal and geographical controls are seen to affect these trace element concentrations. Although most of the hydrothermally enriched elements are associated with the Mn-oxide phases, Li appears to reflect either a surficial adsorption or the presence of a separate Li-rich phase. Observed variations in deposit composition could reflect differences in the geochemistry of the basement rocks from which the elements have been leached, the proximity of high-temperature sulphide deposits and temporal variability in the hydrothermal systems.

<abstract>
Associated with Pacific-Australia plate convergence, the Lau Basin-Havre Trough is an active back-arc basin that has been opened since similar to5.5 Ma by rifting and southward propagating oceanic spreading. Current back-arc opening rates decrease from 159 mm yr(-1) in the northern Lau Basin to 15 mm y(-1) in the southern Havre Trough. Major tectonic changes occur at the transition between Havre Trough rifting and full oceanic spreading of the Eastern Lau Spreading Center (ELSC), where the oblique-to-trench, westward subducting Louisville Seamount Chain (LSC) sweeps southwards along the Tonga trench. New swath bathymetry, seismic reflection data, and limited rock sampling in this area constrain a tectonic and kinematic back-arc model that incorporates the effects of LSC subduction. The ELSC, which extends southward to 24degrees55&apos;S, forms a deep rift valley propagating southward through older, rifted arc basement. Present-day seismicity and fresh and fractured pillow lavas at 23degrees42&apos;S are consistent with rift valley neovolcanism. Conversely, the northern Havre Trough has low seismicity and rifted volcanic basement ridges trending 25-45degrees oblique to the basin axis consistent with low levels of extensional tectonism and volcanism. This latter structural fabric is interpreted as an early stage of rifting that is now &quot;locked&apos;&apos; due to compression on the arc exerted by LSC subduction, while in the Lau Basin such effects have passed as the LSC swept along the Tonga Trench. It is proposed that the Lau-Havre back-arc opening is controlled by tectonic constraints exerted at the limits of the system by the LSC subduction, which determines the southward migration of the Tonga Arc pole of rotation and associated Lau Basin opening. A discrete three-stage back-arc opening evolution is proposed, comprising: (1) an initial phase of back-arc rifting along the whole length of the plate boundary, beginning at similar to6-5 Ma; (2) a subsequent phase, mostly present in the southern part of the back-arc domain and still active in the Havre Trough, of transpression and transtension, starting at similar to4 Ma in the north, as the LSC starts to subduct and sweeps southward along the Tonga trench; and (3) a renewed opening phase in the northern segment of the back-arc domain, with rifting and spreading, starting at similar to3.5 Ma, as subduction of the LSC along the northern Tonga trench is progressively completed.

<abstract>
A numerical model has been developed to investigate heat and fluid migration in a modem off-axis seafloor hydrothermal system, that is, hydrothermal activity and fluid discharge distal to an axial magma chamber emphasizing model geometry, rock/fault properties and fault distribution. The model is based on geophysical data and seafloor observations of the Lau back-arc basin and results suggest a different hydrothermal convection scheme than axial hydrothermal systems. Major hydrothermal activity is predicted to occur at topographic highs due to significant fluid migration along inferred basement topography off-axis with associated permeability differences. Major hydrothermal fluid discharge occurs at off-axis topographic elevated positions with temperatures (150 degrees C - 450 degrees C) and exit fluid velocities (similar to 4 m/s), in good agreement with seafloor observation and theoretical calculations. Heuristic mass calculations pertaining to the formation of massive sulfide deposits imply that a significant base metal sulfide deposit (5 Mt at 10% Cu + Zn) may form in less than 6,000 years, assuming a fluid containing a maximum of 10 ppm base metals and a deposition efficiency of 10 percent. The size and distribution patterns of massive sulfide deposits are determined primarily by fault distribution, provided that adequate fluid flow pathways and heat supply exist.

<abstract>
Rhenium and other trace element data were obtained in situ by laser ablation ICP-MS analysis of submarine-erupted volcanic glasses and olivine-hosted melt inclusions from the Valu Fa Ridge, the south tip of the Lau Basin, in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The chemistry of the Lau Basin basaltic glasses changes systematically from compositions similar to MORB in the Lau Spreading Centers, to more arc-like compositions in the Valu Fa Ridge, providing geochemical profiles both along the Lau Spreading Centers (ridges) and across the Valu Fa Ridge. The east seamount samples of the Valu Fa Ridge have diagnostic trace element ratios (Ba/Nb, Nb/U, Ce/Pb) close to global arc averages, with high Ba/La, indicating addition of considerable amounts of subduction-released fluids. In contrast, samples from the west seamount and the Lau Spreading Centers show a smaller influence from subduction fluids. The variable degrees of subduction influences apparent in the chemistry of these suites provide an ideal means to explore the mechanisms of Re enrichment in undegassed arc magmas. All of the analyzed arc melts have significantly higher Re concentrations than previously published, largely subaerially erupted samples, confirming that high Re is a characteristic of undegassed arc magmas. The east seamount samples are characterized by higher Re and lower Yb/Re than the more MORB-like Lau Spreading Center lavas. The lack of correlation between Yb/Re and Fo of host olivine suggests that low Yb/Re is not due to magmatic differentiation. When the Lau Basin sample suite is plotted together with MORB data, Yb/Re is positively correlated with Ce/Pb and Nb/U, and negatively correlated with Ba/Nb, indicating that Re is much more mobile than Yb during dehydration of subducted slabs. Thus, Re enrichment in arc magmas is likely due to addition of Re via fluids released from subducted slabs; the recognition of high Re in arcs favors arguments for a slab origin of radiogenic Os-187/Os-188 components in arc rocks.
