International team to honor 30th anniversary of deep-sea vent discovery in Galpagos

sunken wood, mud volcanoes and cold seeps where methane-a well-known greenhouse gas and major component of natural gas-seeps through sediments in the ocean floor, Tyler said.

"I expect more chemically driven sites like these will be discovered in the next 30 years," Tyler said. ChEss scientists are also excited about the possibilities deep-ocean technologies may open up for space exploration.

"Because we believe that hydrothermal activity must also occur on liquid oceans already known to exist elsewhere in space (such as Europa, a moon of Jupiter), the robotic devices that we are learning to work with in our own deep oceans may also represent the explorers of the future searching for life in outer space," German said.

Meeting Details

The meeting will be held at the Charles Darwin Research Station in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz from June 27-28. The public event, held on June 29 in the Municipality Hall, will feature interactive displays, a showing of the recently released giant-screen film called "Volcanoes of the Deep Sea," and lectures by noted vent science pioneers including:

  • J. Frederick Grassle (Rutgers University): The First Biological Expedition to Hydrothermal Vents
  • Emory Kristof (National Geographic): The Discovery From the Eye of a Lens
  • Cindy Van Dover (Duke University): The Exotic Fauna of Deep-Sea Oases
  • Christopher German (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution): Modern vent exploration and links with Outer Space, Launch of 30th Anniversary web-based project

All talks will be presented in English and Spanish, and audio files of the talks and images from the event will be available on the ChEss website following the event.
