The newly discovered vents are located on the East ... at EPR is focused on learning more about volcanic and hydrothermal systems in the deep-sea where new seafloor is formed and where unique ...

Sandwiched between the freezing cold of Earth’s coldest continent and the warmth of its southernmost active volcano, the caves beneath Antarctica’s Mount Erebus are an anomaly in more ways than one.

While the idea of a volcanic vent supporting life may seem counterintuitive, scientists are now recognizing that deep-sea mud volcanoes can act as biodiversity hotspots. The warm, methane-rich ...

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: a volcano scientist who does her work in the middle of the Pacific Ocean—at the ...

This is a behavioural adaptation. Deep sea volcanic vents are places on the ocean floor where the volcanic gases of underground magma chambers bubble through. These form plumes of gases which are ...

These vents are typically found in deep-sea volcanic regions, where water seeps deep into the Earth’s crust, gets heated by magma several kilometers below the surface, and then rises back into ...

But in 1977, researchers found a geological feature that supports life on volcanic energy through hydrothermal vents. What kind of life do these geological structures support? Produced by BBC's ...

By being resident on-site at the vent, InVADER will capture transient events and provide unprecedented spatial and temporal access to a deep ocean hydrothermal system. This data will determine ...

How do submarine volcanoes erupt and what are they made of? Where and why do deep sea geysers – also known as hydrothermal vents – spewing 750 degree fluids form? And how does life thrive in ...
