“…The technique was later extensively applied in surveying global mid‐ocean ridges [ Tivey , ; Perram et al ., ; Hussenoeder et al ., ; Pouliquen et al ., ; Yamamoto et al ., ]. In recent years, deep‐tow magnetic data were further used in discerning hydrothermal vents and their activities [ Gee et al ., ; Tivey and Johnson , ; Zhu et al ., ]. In addition, high‐resolution magnetic anomalies were essential for understanding continental breakup [ Whitmarsh et al ., ], magnetic reversal behaviors [ Tominaga et al ., ], and paleointensity variations [ Sager et al ., ; Gee et al ., ; Granot et al ., ].…”
