Characterizing space-time patterns of diffuse hydrothermal flow: Application of heat-as-a- — NSF Award to Woods Hole Oceanographic
Hot water discharging from the seafloor carries heat and metals to the ocean and from the Earth’s crust. A large part of this discharge occurs as warm fluids that seep out of the seafloor in ways that are difficult to measure. Quantifying the heat and chemical element flow is a long-standing and challenging problem. Th

| Abstract | Hot water discharging from the seafloor carries heat and metals to the ocean and from the Earth’s crust. A large part of this discharge occurs as warm fluids that seep out of the seafloor in ways that are difficult to measure. Quantifying the heat and chemical element flow is a long-standing and challenging problem. This project will address this important problem by adapting ground-water seepage measurement methods from shallow water to deep sea environments. This project will fund construction |
