Long-Term Stability of Back-Arc Basin Hydrothermal Vents
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Since the discovery of hydrothermal vents 40-years ago, long-term time-series have focused on mid-ocean ridge systems. Based on these studies, hydrothermal vents are widely considered to be dynamic, ephemeral habitats.

Deep-Sea Natural Products from Extreme Environments: Cold Seeps and Hydrothermal Vents
Marine Drugs, 2022 The deep sea has been proven to be a great treasure for structurally unique and biologically active natural products in the last two decades. Cold seeps and hydrothermal vents, as typical representatives of deep-sea extreme environments, have attracted ...

Origin of Life’s Building Blocks in Carbon- and Nitrogen-Rich Surface Hydrothermal Vents [PDF]
Life, 2019 There are two dominant and contrasting classes of origin of life scenarios: those predicting that life emerged in submarine hydrothermal systems, where chemical disequilibrium can provide an energy source for nascent life; and those predicting that life ...

Protistan grazing impacts microbial communities and carbon cycling at deep-sea hydrothermal vents
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Heterotrophic protists are ubiquitous in all aquatic ecosystems and represent an important ecological link in food webs by transferring organic carbon from primary producers to higher trophic levels.

The discovery of new deep-sea hydrothermal vent communities in the southern ocean and implications for biogeography. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2012 Since the first discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents along the Galápagos Rift in 1977, numerous vent sites and endemic faunal assemblages have been found along mid-ocean ridges and back-arc basins at low to mid latitudes.

The history of life at hydrothermal vents
, 2021 Hydrothermal vents are among the most fascinating environments that exist within the modern oceans, being home to highly productive communities of specially-adapted fauna, supported by chemical energy emanating from the Earth's subsurface.

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 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.
