Although initially viewed as oases within a barren deep ocean, hydrothermal vents and
methane seep chemosynthetic communities are now recognized to interact with surrounding …

This review brings together a large number of independent and seemingly unrelated studies
in various disciplines under four major topics:(1) sulfide as an environmental factor in …

Bacterial cells, growing naturally in freshwater and marine environments or experimentally
in culture, can precipitate a variety of authigenic iron minerals. With the vast majority of …

The phenomenon of hydrothermal venting is a product of the deep-earth processes that
drive plate tectonics and the genesis of ocean crust at spreading centres. Trapped sea water …

Seafloor hydrothermal activity at mid-ocean ridges has a major impact on the chemistry of
the oceans [Edmond et al., 1979] and has been responsible for extensive alteration of …

The April 1991 discovery of newly formed hydrothermal vents in areas of recent volcanic
eruption between 9° 45′ N and 9° 52′ N on the East Pacific Rise provided a unique …
