Investigating controls on Fe and V isotope systematics during hydrothermal venting at the — NSF Award to Woods Hole Oceanographic
At hydrothermal vents metal-rich fluids expel into the ocean. Iron in these fluids can help support marine life. Black smokers, where vent fluids can reach 350 °C, are spectacular examples of these vents. Warm (< 60 °C) fluids can also be vented from undersea volcanic features called seamounts.

| Abstract | At hydrothermal vents metal-rich fluids expel into the ocean. Iron in these fluids can help support marine life. Black smokers, where vent fluids can reach 350 °C, are spectacular examples of these vents. Warm (< 60 °C) fluids can also be vented from undersea volcanic features called seamounts. There is little known about these warm hydrothermal systems and how they support life in the oceans. This project will analyze samples from Kama’ehuakanaloa, the seamount that will eventually become the n |
