Hybrid Hydrothermal Vent and Methane Seep Discovered Off PNG

2023 R/V SONNE expedition discovered the Karambusel field at ~1,300 m depth off Lihir Island, where hot hydrothermal vents sit beside cool methane seeps, creating a unique ecosystem. getnews.me/hybrid-hydrothermal-vent... #hydrothermalvent #methane

The Pompeii worm, named after the Italian city that was wiped out by a volcano in 79 AD can withstand higher temperatures than almost any other animal—175
degrees F (79 degrees C).

"the worms had so much #arsenic in their bodies that it accounted for about 1% of their body weight." 😮

Yeti claws: Cheliped sexual dimorphism and symmetry in deep-sea yeti crabs (Kiwaidae) Yeti crabs (Kiwaidae) are deep-sea hydrothermal vent and methane seep dwelling crustaceans that farm chemosynthetic microbes on their bodies. Sexual dimorphism is a common feature of decapod crustacea...

Understanding The Molecular Mechanisms Involved In Nitrous Oxide Reduction By Deep-sea Hydrothermal Vent Bacteria - Astrobiology Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the third most potent greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and methane. It can also be oxidized by physical processes to form ozone-depleting substances.

I discovered hydrothermal vents, but I’m only known for finding the Titanic The discovery of these underwater hot springs in 1977 solved the mystery of how life first began on Earth, but it was locating the world’s most famous shipwreck that made me a celebrity

Bob Ballard: I called a friend and tried to describe to him what we were seeing, and he said: “That’s impossible.” I said: “I’m holding it in my hand.”

Where do #deepsea #hydrothermalvent animals get their carbon from? Our paper uses natural-abundance radiocarbon (Δ14C) to reveal carbon sources for 12 species! Closer to vent orifice means more carbon (up to 74.8%) from vent fluid CO2 -- unless one uses methane.
