Abstract: We prove the existence of arbitrarily high-dimensional families of minimal surfaces of any prescribed genus and conformal structure in even-dimensional round spheres. More precisely, let $n\geq2$ and let $Σ$ be any closed Riemann surface of genus $g$. We construct a sequence of degrees $d_\ell\to+\infty$ such that, for every $\ell$, there exists a complex manifold of complex dimension $2d_\ell+n^2(1-g)$ consisting of linearly full branched superminimal immersions of $Σ$ into $\mathbb S^{2n}$ of degree $d_\ell$. In particular, this yields parametrized families of linearly full branched minimal immersions whose dimensions tend to infinity.
