Hydrothermal Circulation and Seawater Chemistry. Links and Feedbacks (en Inglés) - Laurence A. Coogan;Alexandra V. Turchyn;Ann G. Dunlea;Wolfgang Bach

Exploring how oceanic hydrothermal systems influence seawater chemistry

The chemical exchange between seawater and the underlying ocean crust occurs at temperatures ranging from about 2°C on the seafloor to more than 500°C deep in the crust. These hydrothermal reactions strongly influence the chemical composition of seawater and, in turn, seawater chemistry impacts hydrothermal exchange; these feedbacks play a crucial role in the Earth system.

Hydrothermal Circulation and Seawater Chemistry: Links and Feedbacks explores on- and off-axis hydrothermal systems and their effects on ocean chemistry and the Earth system.
