Expedition to Lau Basin
November 13-28, 2008
Expedition to search for hydrothermal activity in the NE Lau region by conducting water-column plume surveys aboard the R/V Thompson.
Update from sea (11/21/08):
"We have found that the water column over this back-arc spreading center is populated with an unusual suite of spectacular plumes at depths ranging from 1400 m up to 700 m below the sea surface...." (read more here)
Oregon Offshore Earthquakes
April 2008
NOAA Vents conducts response
expedition to investigate
earthquake swarms on Juan de Fuca plate and the Northern Gorda Ridge,
offshore Oregon.
Sounds of the Southern Ocean
Nov. 20-Dec. 13, 2006 -First
attempt of deep-water ROV survey of hydrothermal vents and ecosystems
in Antarctica. Hydrophones record
sounds generated by moving ice sheets, undersea earthquakes and volcanoes;
vocalizations from large baleen whales.

Tectonic
Plates Slowly Moving
Vents scientists have discovered that the seafloor
off the Pacific Northwest is a jumping kind of place, with thousands
of small, swarming earthquakes and tectonic plates that are slowly rearranging
themselves. The findings could mean that a "Big One" earthquake
may not be as severe...Science

April 2006- The 2006
expedition is the third in a series of explorations of the submarine volcanoes
lying along the Mariana Arc, extending from south of the island of Guam
northward more than 800 nautical miles (1450 km)
