An immense shield volcano within the Shatsky Rise oceanic plateau, northwest Pacific Ocean (2013)
Journal Article
Sager, W. W., Zhang, J., Korenaga, J., Sano, T., Koppers, A. A. P., Widdowson, M., & Mahoney, J. J. (2013). An immense shield volcano within the Shatsky Rise oceanic plateau, northwest Pacific Ocean. Nature Geoscience, 6(11), 976-981. https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo1934
