Abstract: Fluid recharge and discharge between the deep ocean and the porous upper layer of off-axis oceanic crust tends to concentrate in small volumes of rock, such as seamounts and fractures, that are unimpeded by low-permeability… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2205602119
Abstract: Significance We describe the discovery of a large, active, high-temperature off-axis hydrothermal vent field on the East Pacific Rise. Hydrothermal vents are more prevalent across the crestal region of midocean ridges than previously thought. Our… read more here.
