NeMO 2002 begins July 13 with daily web updates and presentations at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, OR. NeMO
studies the dynamic interactions between submarine volcanic activity and
seafloor hotsprings at an observatory, Axial seamount. A volcanic eruption
occured at Axial in January 1998, destroying some hydrothermal vent sites
and creating new ones. Since then NeMO scientists have been assessing
the impact of the eruption and documenting the on-going changes in Axial's
summit caldera. Be
