The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
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.

Do Hydrothermal Shrimp Smell Vents? [PDF]
Deep-sea species endemic to hydrothermal vents face the critical challenge of detecting active sites in a vast environment devoid of sunlight. This certainly requires specific sensory abilities, among which olfaction could be a relevant sensory modality,

The deep sea is the largest habitat on our planet, supporting a vast diversity of organisms which have yet to be fully described. This habitat is punctuated by hydrothermal vents in which energy derived from chemosynthesis drives carbon fixation ...

Organic Biogeochemistry in West Mata, NE Lau Hydrothermal Vent Fields
The impact of submarine hydrothermal systems on organic carbon in the ocean—one of the largest fixed carbon reservoirs on Earth—could be profound. Yet, different vent sites show diverse fluid chemical compositions and the subsequent biological responses.

Widespread diffuse venting and large microbial iron-mounds in the Red Sea
For decades, hydrothermal activity along the Red Sea Rift was only inferred from metalliferous sediments and hot brines. Active hydrothermal fluid discharge was never directly observed from this young ocean basin, but could be key to understanding the ...

Microbial Communities of the Hydrothermal Scaly-Foot Snails From Kairei and Longqi Vent Fields
The microbial communities of the hydrothermal Scaly-foot Snails (SFSs) from independent hydrothermal vent fields have not been investigated in depth. In this study, we collected SFSs from two different hydrothermal environments located on the Central ...

Hydrothermal activity lowers trophic diversity in Antarctic sedimented hydrothermal vents [PDF]
Sedimented hydrothermal vents are those in which hydrothermal fluid vents through sediment and are among the least studied deep-sea ecosystems. We present a combination of microbial and biochemical data to assess trophodynamics between and within ...
