Hydrothermal plumes as hotspots for deep-ocean heterotrophic microbial biomass production
Nature Communications, 2021 Hydrothermal vents are biogeochemically important, but their contribution to the carbon cycle is poorly constrained. Here the authors build a biogeochemical model that estimates autotrophic and heterotrophic production rates of microbial communities ...

Rotating horizontal convection with meridional ridges
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 According to recent studies, the large-scale effect of bottom topography on the ocean overturning circulation can be considered as a result of bottom enhancement of turbulent mixing in the abyssal ocean.

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2013 The global mid-ocean ridge system is a primary focus for energy transfer from the Earth's interior to the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. In a coordinated effort to understand the causes and predict the consequences of mantle-driven physical, chemical, and biological fluxes through the ridge-crest system, the RIDGE (Ridge Inter ...

Moytirra: Discovery of the first known deep-sea hydrothermal vent field on the slow-spreading Mid-Atlantic Ridge north of the Azores [PDF]
, 2013 Geological, biological, morphological, and hydrochemical data are presented for the newly discovered Moytirra vent field at 45oN. This is the only high temperature hydrothermal vent known between the Azores and Iceland, in the North Atlantic and is ...

Geodynamic Models of Melt Generation and Extraction at Mid-Ocean Ridges [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 It is widely accepted that plate divergence at mid-ocean ridges drives mantle flow, mantle melting, and the formation of new oceanic crust. However, many of the details of this process remain obscure because of the inaccessibility of the mantle to direct
