Hydrothermal systems on Europa [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 We estimate the global hydrothermal heat transport on Europa by considering the range of heat generation resulting from tidal stresses and radiogenic heat production within Europa's rocky sub‐ocean lithosphere. We show that if factors controlling tidally generated heat on Europa are similar to those on Io, global hydrothermal heat output and its high ...

The Lassen hydrothermal system [PDF]
American Mineralogist, 2016 The active Lassen hydrothermal system includes a central vapor-dominated zone or zones beneath the Lassen highlands underlain by ~240 °C high-chloride waters that discharge at lower elevations. It is the best-exposed and largest hydrothermal system in the Cascade Range, discharging 41 ± 10 kg/s of steam (~115 MW) and 23 ± 2 kg/s of high-chloride waters

Seafloor hydrothermal systems [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1995 The discovery of seafloor hydrothermal systems approximately two decades ago has led to a major reassessment of the Earth's thermal and geochemical budgets and has revolutionized our understanding of biological processes. This review traces the development of the study of seafloor hydrothermal systems from the indirect evidence provided by conductive ...

A prototype system for the hydrothermal oxidation of feces
Water Research X, 2022 To ensure access to safe sanitation facilities in rural communities, cheap off-grid technologies need to be developed to substitute pit latrines and open defecation. In this study, we present a prototype system based on hydrothermal oxidation, which, under optimal conditions, converts a fecal sludge simulant almost completely to CO 2 and water ...

Factoring Origin of Life Hypotheses into the Search for Life in the Solar System and Beyond
Life, 2020 Two widely-cited alternative hypotheses propose geological localities and biochemical mechanisms for life’s origins. The first states that chemical energy available in submarine hydrothermal vents supported the formation of organic compounds and ...

Chemoautotrophy at Deep-Sea Vents: Past, Present, and Future [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 Chemolithoautotrophic microorganisms are at the nexus of hydrothermal systems by effectively transferring the energy from the geothermal source to the higher trophic levels.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 Continental rifting is initiated by a dynamic interplay between tectonic stretching and mantle upwelling. Decompression melting assists continental breakup through lithospheric weakening and enforces upflow of melt to the Earth's surface.
