External-forcing modulation on temporal variations of hydrothermalism-evidence from sediment cores in a submarine venting field off northeastern Taiwan.

The temporal variation of sulfur and metals in core sediments off Kueishantao Islet, a hydrothermal vent site at northeastern Taiwan, was explored to elucidate the changes in submarine hydrothermal emanation over a centennial time scale. The discharge of acidic fluids containing abundant sulfides an...
