Illuminating subseafloor ecosystems using microbial tracers

2004
The use of microorganisms as tracers of the physical, chemical, and biological nature of otherwise inaccessible environments is explained and this concept applied to the subseafloor at mid-ocean ridges. Hyperthermophilic microorganisms found in low-temperature fluids can be used as tracers of the characteristics of subseafloor environments.

Introduction to Special Section on Subseafloor Metamorphism

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1988
Metamorphism at mid‐ocean ridges was indicated first by the presence of metabasites and peridotites in dredge hauls [e.g., Miyashiro et al., 1971]. Circulation of seawater through the oceanic crust was suggested as an explanation for the low average heat flow measurements at and near the mid‐ocean ridges [e.g., Lister, 1972].

Feasibility of subseafloor emplacement of nuclear waste

Marine Geotechnology, 1976
Abstract This paper evaluates the technical feasibility of embedding nuclear waste containers in the seafloor for the purpose of “permanent” disposal (i.e., possibly as long as. 1,000,000 years duration). Three concepts to achieve embedment were considered: (1) free‐fall or dynamic penetration, (2) static or constant force penetration, and (3 ...

Global Subseafloor Ecosystem and Sustainability (GSES)

The subseafloor ecosystem includes all life living in marine sediment, crust and the accompany fluids. This ecosystem, also called the deep biosphere, mostly derives its energy source from geological processes, which are cut off from sunlight. Deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps are regarded as windows of the subsurface life.
