Cores drilled into active smokers on Juan de Fuca Ridge
The October 1991 Chronology expedition to the Endeavour Segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge sought to exploit shipboard and land‐based radioisotope analyses based on detailed geological observations and comprehensive sampling to determine the absolute ages of an actively venting ridge‐axis hydrothermal field.

Abstract Hydrothermal systems at mid‐ocean ridges (MORs) mediate the transfer of heat and geochemical fluxes from the mantle to the hydrosphere, facilitating fluid‐rock interaction and metal cycling. While short‐term hydrothermal dynamics are well studied, the long‐term response of these systems at slow‐spreading ridges to glacial‐interglacial sea ...

Gabbroic xenoliths and host ferrobasalt from the southern Juan de Fuca Ridge
Rare isotropic gabbroic xenoliths occur in sheet and lobate flow fragments of nearly aphyric ferrobasalt collected along a 12‐km section of the southern Juan de Fuca Ridge. Xenoliths comprise ≪ 1% of the dredge contents and range in size from 1 cm3 (glomerocryst) to 240 cm3.

Carbon fixation by basalt-hosted microbial communities
Oceanic crust is a massive potential habitat for microbial life on Earth, yet our understanding of this ecosystem is limited due to difficulty in access. In particular, measurements of rates of microbial activity are sparse. We used stable carbon isotope

Seafloor Electromagnetic Measurements above Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge
Magnetotelluric (MT) data were collected at three sites around the eastern rim of the caldera of Axial Seamount, on the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The seamount has been observed to be volcanically and hydrothermally active over the last ten years, and is therefore an excellent target for electromagnetic induction studies on the seafloor. This paper follows an

Low-Temperature Hydrothermal Plumes in the Near-Bottom Boundary Layer at Endeavour Segment, Juan de Fuca Ridge [PDF]
Low-temperature (typically 5–75°C) fluid, commonly referred to as "diffuse" hydrothermal flow, emanates from fractures over a significant portion of the Juan de Fuca Ridge seafloor in the Northeast Pacific Ocean (Kelley et al., 2012, in this issue ...

Short-chain alkanes play a substantial role in carbon and sulfur cycling at hydrocarbon-rich environments globally, yet few studies have examined the metabolism of ethane (C2), propane (C3), and butane (C4) in anoxic sediments in contrast to methane (C1).

Reproductive ecology of Vestimentifera (Polychaeta: Siboglinidae) from hydrothermal vents and cold seeps [PDF]
Giant siboglinid tubeworms (formerly Vestimentifera) are ecologically important members of deep-sea chemosynthetic communities, including hydrothermal vents and cold seeps.
