We've all seen the surreal footage in nature documentaries showing hydrothermal vents on the frigid ocean floor—bellowing black plumes of super-hot water—and the life forms that cling to them. Now, a ...
Most seafloor hydrothermal circulation occurs far from the magmatic influence of mid-ocean ridges, driving large flows of water, heat and solutes through volcanic rock outcrops on ridge flanks. Here ...
The research findings of Dr. Tao Chunhui, a senior researcher from the Second Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, were published in Science China: Earth Sciences. Over a decade, ...
When scientists discovered a hydrothermal vent site in the Arctic Ocean's Aurora hydrothermal system in 2014, they did not immediately realize just how exciting their discovery was. "Although finding ...

Vast quantities of ocean water circulate through the seafloor, flowing through the volcanic rock of the upper oceanic crust. A new study explains what drives this global process and how the flow is ...
A new study uses an innovative approach to examine a shallow-water hydrothermal system and the production of microbes there in situ and near natural conditions as a model to assess the importance of ...
New research shows that a remote place on Earth has submarine activity akin to that on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus. The finding offers a new opportunity that can help scientists prepare for future ...
Vast quantities of ocean water circulate through the seafloor, flowing through the volcanic rock of the upper oceanic crust. A new study by scientists at UC Santa Cruz, published June 26 in Nature ...
