Submarine hydrothermal sulfide ores occur at mid-ocean ridges, intra-oceanic arcs and in
back-arc basins associated with host rocks of highly variable composition. Pyrite is the …

Here, we review the relationship between the distribution of modern-day seafloor
hydrothermal activity along the global mid-ocean ridge crest and the nature of the mineral …

Marine minerals such as manganese nodules, Co-rich ferromanganese crusts, and seafloor
massive sulfides are commonly seen as possible future resources that could potentially add …

The possibility of mining seafloor massive sulfide deposits has stirred debate about the
sustainable use of this new resource and whether commercial development is worth the risk …

Brothers volcano, of the Kermadec intraoceanic arc, is host to a hydrothermal system unique
among seafloor hydrothermal systems known anywhere in the world. It has two distinct vent …

Sea-floor massive sulfide deposits represent a new type of base and precious metal
resources that may be exploited by future deep-sea mining operations. These deposits …

Brothers caldera volcano is a submarine volcano of dacitic composition, located on the
Kermadec arc, New Zealand. It hosts the NW caldera vent field perched on the steep slope …

Species inhabiting deep-sea hydrothermal vents are strongly influenced by the geological
setting, as it provides the chemical-rich fluids supporting the food web, creates the …

The rocks and sediments of the oceanic subsurface represent a diverse mosaic of
environments potentially inhabited by microorganisms. Understanding microbial ecosystems …

The shallow submarine eruption which took place in October 10th 2011, 1.8 km south of the
