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 ...

In a shocking revelation, scientists have discovered thousands of giant eggs in an underwater volcano off the coast of ...

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 ...

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 ...

the deep sea trenches, and the origin of the midocean ridges. Hess's puzzling guyots fit into the sea-floor spreading picture, as well. It's believed they were once-active volcanoes which rose ...

In 2015, researchers examining deep-sea sediments near the underwater volcano Loki discovered gene fragments indicating a new ...
