Metabolic and population profiles of active subseafloor autotrophs in young oceanic crust at deep-sea hydrothermal vents [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyAt deep-sea hydrothermal vents, magmatically driven rock-water reactions in the crust generate gases and other reduced compounds that subseafloor microorganisms use for chemolithoautotrophy.

Selection Is a Significant Driver of Gene Gain and Loss in the Pangenome of the Bacterial Genus
mSystems, 2020 Microbial genomes have highly variable gene content, and the evolutionary history of microbial populations is shaped by gene gain and loss mediated by horizontal gene transfer and selection.

Observation and Modeling of Hydrothermal Response to the 2015 Eruption at Axial Seamount, Northeast Pacific [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2018 The 2015 eruption at Axial Seamount, an active volcano at a depth of 1500 m in the Northeast Pacific, marked the first time a seafloor eruption was detected and monitored by an in situ cabled observatory—the Cabled Array, which is part of the Ocean ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 Plate divergence along mid‐ocean ridges is accommodated through faulting and magmatic accretion, and, at overlapping spreading centers (OSC), is distributed across two curvilinear overlapping ridge axes.

Drift Corrected Seafloor Pressure Observations of Vertical Deformation at Axial Seamount 2018–2021
Earth and Space Science, 2023 Axial Seamount is a seafloor volcano with frequent eruptions and periodic cycles of inflation and deflation. Seafloor pressure gauges monitor vertical deformation with time, but inherent instrumental drift complicates and biases geodetic interpretation ...

Phanerozoic Large Igneous Province, Petroleum System, and Source Rock Links
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 191-228., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
