Exploring the ocean for hydrothermal venting: New techniques, new discoveries, new insights
ET Baker - Ore Geology Reviews, 2017 - Elsevier
Enumerating active hydrothermal fields on the seafloor has been a challenge since their
discovery almost 40 years ago. High-temperature hydrothermal fields are readily …

Inactive hydrothermal vent microbial communities are important contributors to deep ocean primary productivity
Active hydrothermal vents are oases for productivity in the deep ocean, but the flow of
dissolved substrates that fuel such abundant life ultimately ceases, leaving behind inactive …

Establishing a new era of submarine volcanic observatories: Cabling Axial Seamount and the Endeavour Segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge
DS Kelley, JR Delaney, SK Juniper - Marine Geology, 2014 - Elsevier
At least 70% of the volcanism on Earth occurs along the 65,000 km network of mid-ocean
ridge (MOR) spreading centers. Within these dynamic environments, the highest fluxes of …

Hybrid shallow on-axis and deep off-axis hydrothermal circulation at fast-spreading ridges
Hydrothermal flow at oceanic spreading centres accounts for about ten per cent of all heat
flux in the oceans, and controls the thermal structure of young oceanic plates. It also …

Animal life in the shallow subseafloor crust at deep-sea hydrothermal vents
It was once believed that only microbes and viruses inhabited the subseafloor crust beneath
hydrothermal vents. Yet, on the seafloor, animals like the giant tubeworm Riftia pachyptila …
