Popis:	The middle part of the Central Indian Ridge (MCIR) between 8°S and 18°S is representative of mid-ocean ridges in the Indian Ocean but has not previously been systematically surveyed. Here we present results from the first high-resolution mapping survey over both on- and off-axis sections of the MCIR including multibeam bathymetry, magnetics, hydrocasting, and seabed sampling. The 700-km-long MCIR consists of six first-order segments that are offset by > 30 km along well-developed transform faults. Three of the first-order segments are further divided into seven second-order segments with
