Earthquakes increase hydrothermal venting and nutrient inputs into the Aegean

A two‐year physicochemical and acoustic observation reveals spatiotemporal effects of earthquake‐induced shallow‐water hydrothermal venting on the surrounding environments

“…These motions can influence the geographic structures beneath a hydrothermal vent system (Konstantinou et al 2013). Earthquake displacement and ground shaking can lead to disturbance in subsurface fluid dynamics, potentially impacting the activity of hydrothermal venting (Dando et al 1995;Johnson et al 2000). As Kueishan Island is situated along the tectonically active Okinawa Trough (Liu et al 2016), our analysis reveals the association between elevated hydrothermal activity and the occurrence of shallow earthquakes.…”

“…Although past studies have identified pH as a tracer of hydrothermal vents, multiple indicators are still needed for a comprehensive understanding of their biochemical and ecological characteristics (Desbruyères 1998;Le Bris et al 2001). In addition to commonly used biochemical indicators, sound has been adopted as one of the essential ocean variables (Howe et al 2019).…”

Quantifying the Bioavailable Energy in an Ancient Hydrothermal Vent on Mars and a Modern Earth-Based Analog

“…Microbial communities are dominated by sulfur metabolisms, although Planctomycetes, perhaps the most important anaerobic ammonium oxidizer on Earth (Op den Camp et al , 2007), was abundant (McCauley Rench, 2015). Marine, shallow-water hydrothermal vents associated with volcanoes may also be targets to search for these metabolisms, as they may contain abundant CO 2 derived from magma degassing and NH 4 + from reduction of N 2 derived from rainwater in anaerobic HFs (Dando et al , 1995; Bortoluzzi et al , 2017). Finally, perhaps the most important analog where this environment could have existed is the early Earth, which, as noted, would have been similar to early martian settings in many ways ( e.g., anaerobic, abundant CO 2 in the atmosphere; Durham et al , 1989).…”
