 British Mid-Ocean Ridge Initiative

The British Mid-Ocean Ridge Initiative is a collaborative scientific program aimed at studying and understanding the complex geological and biological systems of mid-ocean ridges. Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges formed by tectonic plate movements, and they play a crucial role in plate tectonics and the overall health of the Earth's oceans. The initiative typically involves researchers from various institutions and countries, focusing on aspects such as geology, biology, biogeochemistry, and the ecosystem dynamics of these unique environments.
