Evolution of enhanced magmatism at the ultraslow spreading Southwest Indian Ridge between 46°E and 53.5°E

Watch the video introduction for this paper on YouTube or Bilibili. The Indomed-Gallieni supersegment (46-52°E) of the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) has been of interest as a melt-rich endmember of ultraslow spreading mid-ocean ridges, attributed to enhanced magmatism since 11 Ma.
