Deep-sea hydrothermal-vent ecosystems have stimulated decades of scientific research and
hold promise of mineral and genetic resources that also serve societal needs. Some …

The unprecedented nature of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill required the application of
research methods to estimate the rate at which oil was esca** from the well in the deep …

To fully understand the environmental and ecological impacts of the Deepwater Horizon
disaster, an accurate estimate of the total oil released is required. We used optical plume …

Faults in the upper crust initiate from pre-existing (inherited) or precursory (early-formed)
structures and typically grow by the mechanical interaction and linkage of these structures …

We show the capabilities of a downhole distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) array in
detecting, locating, and characterizing low‐magnitude earthquakes occurring in the vicinity …

The relative heat carried by diffuse versus discrete venting of hydrothermal fluids at mid‐
ocean ridges is poorly constrained and likely varies among vent sites. Estimates of the …

Near-infrared spectral data can be used as a critical indicator for the quantitative analysis of
sample molecules. However, water can strongly absorb infrared radiation, and the infrared …

Ocean tides and winter surface storms are among the main factors driving the dynamics and
spatial structure of marine coastal species, but the understanding of their impact on deep …

The permeability of the oceanic crust exerts a primary influence on the vigor of hydrothermal
circulation at mid‐ocean ridges, but it is a difficult to measure parameter that varies with time …

Research on deep seawater is of great importance to marine chemistry, biology, and climate
science studies. Sample analysis is the fundamental and most effective method for deep …
