Macrofaunal ecology of sedimented hydrothermal vents in the Bransfield Strait, Antarctica

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Sedimented hydrothermal vents, where hot, mineral-rich water flows through sediment, are poorly understood globally, both in their distribution and the ecology of individual vent fields.

Do Hydrothermal Shrimp Smell Vents?

open access: yesInsects, 2021
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,

Numerical Simulation Study of Seafloor Hydrothermal Circulation Based on HydrothermalFoam: A Case Study of the Wocan-1 Hydrothermal Field, Carlsberg Ridge, Indian Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Deep-sea hydrothermal circulation plays a pivotal role in the material and energy exchange in deep-sea environments, exerting significant influence on the evolution of seawater chemistry and global climate dynamics. Based on existing data and assumptions,

Automated planning for hydrothermal vent prospecting using AUVs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This thesis presents two families of novel algorithms for automated planning under uncertainty. It focuses on the domain of searching the ocean floor for hydrothermal vents, using autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).

Distribution Patterns and Diversity of Sedimental Microbial Communities in the Tianxiu Hydrothermal Field of Carlsberg Ridge

open access: yesOceans
Hydrothermal vents, widely occurring along middle-ocean ridges and volcanic arcs, have been well-studied in vent-associated microbiology, mineralogy, and geochemistry. However, there are rarely investigations regarding the detailed microbial community in

Effects of Substrate Composition and Subsurface Fluid Pathways on the Geochemistry of Seafloor Hydrothermal Deposits at the Lucky Strike Vent Field, Mid‐Atlantic Ridge

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The Lucky Strike vent field, located on the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge (MAR), is hosted on enriched mid‐ocean ridge basalt associated with the nearby Azores hotspot. In this study, we present bulk rock geochemistry coupled with in situ sulfur isotope analysis of

Sinking Particle Fluxes at the Jan Mayen Hydrothermal Vent Field Area from Short-Term Sediment Traps

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
The mixing of hydrothermal vent fluids with deep ocean water and near-vent pelagic matter results in particle populations with a complex composition consisting of hydrothermally derived, rock-forming, and biogenic particles.

Adaptations to submarine hydrothermal environments exemplified by the genome of Nautilia profundicola [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Submarine hydrothermal vents are model systems for the Archaean Earth environment, and some sites maintain conditions that may have favored the formation and evolution of cellular life.

Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent and Impact-Generated Hydrothermal Vent Systems: Insights into the Origin of Life

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Studies of deep-sea hydrothermal vent systems have generated a spectrum of hypotheses concerning the origin of life on Earth. The present paper integrates recent literature surrounding three separate hydrothermal vent systems (Lost City in the mid ...

Reproductive adaptations of the hydrothermal vent crab Xenograpus testudinatus: An isotopic approach.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The vent crab Xenograpsus testudinatus was firstly discovered in 2000 at the hydrothermal vent field off the coast of Kueishan Island. The present study attempts to understand the adaptive reproduction of this crab living in an extreme environment by ...
