Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal recharge and discharge across 50 km guided by seamounts on a young ridge flank.
Andrew T. Fisher,Earl E. Davis,M. Hutnak,Volkhard Spiess,Lars Zühlsdorff,A. Cherkaoui,L. Christiansen,K. M. Edwards,Robie W. Macdonald,Heinrich Villinger,Michael J. Mottl,C. G. Wheat,Keir Becker +12 more
TL;DR: Results of swath mapping, heat flow, geochemistry and seismic surveys from the young eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca ridge show that isolated basement outcrops penetrating through thick sediments guide hydrothermal discharge and recharge between sites separated by more than 50 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Community in Black Rust Exposed to Hot Ridge Flank Crustal Fluids
Satoshi Nakagawa,Fumio Inagaki,Yohey Suzuki,Bjørn Olav Steinsbu,Mark A. Lever,Ken Takai,Bert Engelen,Yoshihiko Sako,C. G. Wheat,Koki Horikoshi +9 more
TL;DR: Quantification of the dissimilatory sulfite reductase (dsrAB) genes, together with stable sulfur isotopic and electron microscopic analyses, strongly suggested the prevalence of sulfate reduction, potentially by the Ammonifex group of bacteria.
Book ChapterDOI
Scientific and technical design and deployment of long-term subseafloor observatories for hydrogeologic and related experiments, IODP Expedition 301, eastern flank of Juan de Fuca Ridge

TL;DR: Fisher et al. as mentioned in this paper deployed two borehole observatories (CORKs) in the oceanic crust to conduct active, multidisciplinary experiments over timescales of minutes to years and length scales of meters to kilometers.
Fluid Sampling from Oceanic Borehole Observatories: Design and Methods for CORK Activities (1990-2010)

TL;DR: Results indicate that (i) high-flux incubations with higher oxygen availability favor the development of biofilms with twisted stalks resembling those of marine neutrophilic FeOB and (ii) long-term nutrient stimulation results in substrate corrosion and bioFilms with different bacterial community composition and structure relative to stagnant and non-nutritionally enhanced incubations.
