"It is dotted with thousands of deep-sea hot springs like these, which all together extract 10% of the Earth's total internal heat. We want to increase our understanding of how hydrothermal vents ...

Deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems are unique environments found on the ocean floor, characterized by the presence of mineral-rich hot water that supports diverse biological communities.

1942) and a team of oceanographers and marine geochemists and geologists, took the deep ... the vents, and in some places, had accumulated so high as to look like chimneys on the sea floor ...

New research has revealed that a hairy crustacean—dubbed "The Hoff crab" when it was discovered in 2010—is the first species ...

Among the best known examples are the remarkable ecosystems that flourish at deep-sea vents. Vent communities are not supported by the heat coming out of these vents, but are instead sustained by ...
