Abstract: Seafloor massive sulphide (SMS) deposits, found at water depths to 3600 m, are products of high-temperature hydrothermal activity associated with seafloor volcanism. Dissolved metals in the hydrothermal fluids precipitate when the fluids are expelled. Metal sulphides… read more here.

DOI: 10.1190/geo2021-0356.1
Abstract: Seafloor Massive Sulfide (SMS) deposits contain abundant metals such as Cu, Zn, Au and Ag, which are of growing economic interest. Currently, we need a geophysical method to rapidly obtain the 3D structure of such… read more here.

DOI: 10.2138/gselements.14.5.307
Abstract: Seafloor massive sulfides are deposits of metal-bearing minerals that form on and below the seabed as a result of heated seawater interacting with oceanic crust. These occurrences are more variable than previously thought, and this… read more here.
