Microbiological characterization of post-eruption "snowblower" vents at Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge
Microbial processes within the subseafloor can be examined during the ephemeral and uncommonly observed phenomena known as snowblower venting. Snowblowers are characterized by the large quantity of white floc that is expelled from the seafloor following mid-ocean ridge eruptions. During these erupti...
