- Abstract:
- We propose the analysis of total dissolvable Mn in a suite of 108 recently-collected seawater samples to detect, systematically, for hydrothermal plumes along the Knipovich Ridge: 74-78 degrees N, Norwegian-Greenland Sea. The determination of the presence and abundance of hydrothermal venting along this remote and extremely slow-spreading ridge is important to our understanding of hydrothermal fluxes in ocean biogeochemistry, the cooling of ocean crust along the Earth's many slow-spreading ridges and to the evolution and biogeography of vent-specific fauna. The analyses will be integrated into an SOC co-ordinated study which will include complementary investigations of other classical hydrothermal plume tracers: optical back-scattering (SOC), dissolved methane (Russia), dissolved helium-3/4 ratios (Korea) and plume microbiology - abundance and diversity (Japan).
