| Abstract | A recent deep-sea volcanic eruption on the East Pacific Rise provides a rare, time-sensitive opportunity to investigate how deep-ocean ecosystems recover from catastrophic disturbance. Because this site has been studied for decades, researchers can compare current events to data from before the eruption and from past eruptions, offering insight into how ocean life responds to sudden natural change. Through this project, the scientific team is investigating how microorganisms and animals return t |
