Volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits form in subaqueous environments from
circulating hydrothermal fluids heated by volcanic activity. These deposits form as sulphide …

The weathering process of seafloor massive sulphide (SMS) deposits can be considered
analogous to weathering of terrestrial volcanogenic massive sulphides (VMS) deposits …

Brothers caldera volcano is a submarine volcano of dacitic composition, located on the
Kermadec arc, New Zealand. It hosts the NW caldera vent field perched on the steep slope …

Sea-floor massive sulfide deposits represent a new type of base and precious metal

Abstract The Okinawa Trough is a back-arc basin behind the Ryukyu trench-arc system and
located along the eastern margin of the Eurasian continent. Sulfide and sulfate …

Compositional and isotopic properties of gas species, CH4, H2, CO2, and C2H6, strongly
suggest a dominance of biogenic CH4 associated with the sedimentary organic matter …

The results of three decades of seafloor research provide the most reliable information on
the importance of water depth in massive sulfide formation. Available data from over 130 …

The ultramafic-hosted Semenov-1 hydrothermal field is a part of the Semenov group of
sulfide deposits located at 13° 30′ N Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The hydrothermal deposits …

Supercritical CO 2 appearing as bubbles in hydrothermal vents was identified in the south
part of the Okinawa Trough using in situ Raman spectroscopy. Significantly, the N 2 peak in …

Since the initial discovery of hydrothermal vents in 1977, these 'extreme'chemosynthetic
systems have been a focus of interdisciplinary research. The Okinawa Trough (OT), located …
