AGU Session Alert 🚨: @imagecreateca are sponsoring the AGU Session V013. Linking magmatic, tectonic, and hydrothermal processes in arc-backarc and mid-ocean ridge settings. We welcome all submissions from those working along MORs and back-arcs!
U.S. InterRidge is launching a brand-new monthly webinar, with everything from mid-ocean ridges to the deep abyss: science above, at and below the #seafloor!
Next speaker: Masako Tominaga, @WHOI
6 March | 12pm ET

Upcoming schedule 👇
We'll be heading to the Galapagos region to map hydrothermal vent systems. My daily role will be assisting the geology team's operations and working on a geological map of the eastern Galapagos Spreading Centre. Read more about the cruise here: schmidtocean.org/cruise/ultr…
Dr. John Jamieson and 4 members of his lab group are onboard the R/V Falkor (too) north of the Galápagos Islands on a research expedition. ⛴️🌊
The team is mapping hydrothermal vents using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Sonar (InSAS).
1/3
最初の12時間くらいは干渉合成開口ソナーとマルチビームによる高解像度地形探査、その後に海底に降りて観察・サンプリング。
We will be doing high-res mapping using InSAS and multibeam for the first 12 hours, then descending to the sea floor.
#MappingGalapagosVents
Hitting the seafloor in 5-10 minutes to explore the Tempus Fugit hydrothermal field along the Eastern Galapagos Spreading Centre, for the first time in 8 years. Check out the divestream! youtube.com/SchmidtOcean#MappingGalapagosVents
Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits of the Dunnage Zone of the Newfoundland Appalachians: setting, styles, key advances, and future research

ALT Figure from paper. Caption: Model for the genesis of volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits. While based on mafic VMS deposits in ophiolites and on modern systems, generalizations shown here are applicable to most VMS deposits. Solid red lines represent deep hydrothermal fluid recharge (downwelling), dashed red lines represent shallow hydrothermal fluid recharge (downwelling), solid black arrows represent focused hydrothermal fluid discharge (upwelling), and grey solid arrows represent diffuse hydrothermal fluid discharge (upwelling). Dark blue area area represents the top of the subvolcanic magma chamber (partly crystallized?). Modified from Alt (1995) and Hannington (2014).
