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.

"The spontaneous formation of ion channels discovered in deep sea hydrothermal vents has direct implications for the origin ...

Close to the summit of an underwater mountain west of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a jagged landscape of towers rises from the ...

from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. The team recently published their results in the journal iScience. The researchers developed a method that enabled them to analyze time-series gene expression at ...

deep-sea hydrothermal vents are an excellent example of the extreme natural conditions to whic microorganisms can physiologically adapt.. It appears that the formation of biofilms is a crucial ...

If there is a harsher place to live than a hydrothermal vent, it hasn't been found yet. Pitch darkness, poison gas, heavy metals, extreme acidity, enormous pressure, water at turns frigid and ...

As the only woman who has piloted the deep-ocean research submersible Alvin, Van Dover is among the few researchers to have explored hydrothermal vents firsthand. A love of the ocean lured Nicole ...

We are exploring the role of hydrothermal vents in driving the evolution of novel adaptations in deep-sea animals, throughout the 500+ million year history of complex life on our planet. In many parts ...

The deepest regions of Earth's oceans, known as the abyssal and hadal zones, lie at least as far under the water's surface as ...

We also study the ecology and evolution of animals living at hydrothermal vents - underwater hot springs and oases of remarkable evolutionary novelty in the deep sea. We are undertaking a range of ...
