From: Karen Bemis <bemis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>AGU Fall Meeting 2013 Session OS012: mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems
************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues
Please consider submitting an abstract (deadline August 6th) to our session on mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems at the 2013 AGU Fall Meeting. We are looking for any studies that explore linkages between the geological, geophysical, hydrological, and biological aspects of mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems. An extended description of the session is provided below.

The extensive multidisciplinary studies on mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems over the past two decades have lead to a growing realization of the coupling between hydrothermal systems with both geological and hydrodynamic processes. There has been substantial evidence for the perturbations in hydrothermal-vent outflow properties (i.e. flow rate, temperature, chemical concentration) due to earthquakes and tides. Additionally, ambient deep-ocean currents have significant influence on the mixing and dispersal of vent-generated products and vent-animal larva, while recent evidence extends the source of this influence to the surface ocean and atmospheric forcing. These findings have started to change our traditional view of mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal system as the remote oases located on the otherwise barren seafloor. This session would explore the linkage of mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems with geological, oceanic and atmospheric processes, the mechanisms of which are still largely poorly understood.
