Jan Mayen microplate complex The JMMC has a bathymetric signature stretching >500 km from north to south in the central part of the Norwegian–Greenland Sea (Fig. 1)(Gudlaugs-son et al. 1988; Kuvaas & Kodaira 1997; Blischke et al. 2017). It is bordered to the north by the Jan Mayen Fracture Zone and the volcanic complex of Jan Mayen Island.
Based on observations from moored instruments deployed on the shelf and the continental slope of the Jan Mayen Island from August 2017 to August 2018, we document the mean state and the variability of the currents, temperature and salinity and their associated vertical structure.
The Jan Mayen Ridge (JMR) is a 150-km-long and 10–30 km wide seafloor expression in N-S direction in the centre of the North Atlantic and part of the Jan Mayen Microcontinent (JMMC). Previous studies show: The eastern flank of the JMR was formed during the breakup of the Norway Basin along today’s Aegir Ridge, prior to magnetic anomaly C23 ...
The Jan Mayen Microcontinent is a fragment of continental crust within the oceanic part of the western Eurasian Plate lying northeast of Iceland. At the onset of separation between the Greenland and Eurasian plates 55 million years ago, it formed part of the eastern margin of the Greenland Plate. Propagation of a new spreading center from the ...
Nov 1, 2012 · K/Ar ages of rocks from the Jan Mayen Island confirm that the emergent part of the Jan Mayen Ridge is young, mostly post-Pleistocene in age (Fitch et al. 1965). Nd–Sr–Pb isotope analysis also indicates that these rocks are derived from enriched mantle source with no clear evidence for continental contamination (Svellingen & Pedersen 2003 ...
