Purpose
|
|
Investigate hydrothermal flow, mineral deposits, microbiology, and petroleum
|
|
deposits in active vent fields of Southern Trough.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
|
Composition of vent fluids, pore waters, hydrothermal deposits; microbiology of
|
|
hydrothermal chimneys; rate and conditions for chimney growth; pore water
|
|
composition; petroleum distribution in sediment.
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
Collected about 25 hydrothermal precipitate samples by ROV grab and 15 sediment
|
|
samples with push cores. Petroleum recovered from hydrothermal samples and
|
|
sediment cores. Organic chemistry of gases and petroleum, inorganic chemistry
|
|
of petroleum and rock samples analyzed in USGS
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
Extensive video and photographic records obtained during 7 ROV deployments are
|
|
archived at MBARI. Reported Project is Metals in Brines and Petroleum (Mineral
|
|
Resources Program); MBARI-Guaymas Southern Trough Hydrothermal Field. Reported
|
|
Chief Scientists are Debra Stakes (MBARI) and Margaret Tivey (WHOI). Reported
|
|
Equipment Used are ROV Tiburon, push cores, water samplers, thermocouple arrays,
|
|
UV spectrophotometer, Osmosamplers, Niskin bottles, and temperature probe.
