Submarine cold seeps and hydrothermal vents are the key agents of material and energy exchange between the marine lithosphere and outer geospheres. Moreover, they breed natural gas hydrates, massive metal sulfides, and precious genetic resources and are ...

Deep-sea corals near cold seeps associate with sulfur-oxidizing chemoautotrophs in the family Ca. Thioglobaceae. [PDF]
Background Corals are known for their symbiotic relationships, yet there is limited evidence of chemoautotrophic associations. This is despite some corals occurring near cold seeps where chemosymbiotic fauna abound including mussels that host sulfur ...

Population genetic structure in Sabatieria (Nematoda) reveals intermediary gene flow and admixture between distant cold seeps from the Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]
Background There is a general lack of information on the dispersal and genetic structuring for populations of small-sized deep-water taxa, including free-living nematodes which inhabit and dominate the seafloor sediments. This is also true for unique and

Ecology and biogeography of free-living nematodes associated with chemosynthetic environments in the deep sea: A review [PDF]
Background: Here, insight is provided into the present knowledge on free-living nematodes associated with chemosynthetic environments in the deep sea. It was investigated if the same trends of high standing stock, low diversity, and the dominance of a ...

Evidence for intense REE scavenging at cold seeps from the Niger Delta margin
International audienceFor many trace elements, continental margins are the location of intense exchange processes between sediment and seawater, which control their distribution in the water column, but have yet to be fully understood.

Deep-sea viral diversity and their role in host metabolism of complex organic matter. [PDF]
Viruses exert a pervasive influence on biogeochemical cycles in deep-sea ecosystems. Cold seeps and seamounts, globally distributed across the oceans and harboring diverse microbial communities, remain largely unexplored regarding their viral inhabitants

Focus: To listen to the Arctic Ocean’s sounds and to learn about the Arctic Ocean’s biodiversity, particularly near cold seeps. We will experiment with creating new sound expressions inspired by the Ocean. For pupils with hearing impairment, pupils can create a bodily expression of this and/or use instruments they are comfortable with.
