Both are so different from so-called black-smoker hydrothermal vents that they may provide a whole new avenue for looking for the earliest life on Earth. http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=8583 Science Sandra Hines (shines@u.washington.edu) and Cheryl Dybas (cdybas@nsf.gov) http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=8583 Thu, 03 Mar 2005 18:17:00 GMT Being seasick is not a problem for scientists on a major expedition now under way in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. That's because most of the researchers investigating the eerie Lost City hydrothermal vent field are working "aboard" a landlocked science command center in Seattle. http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=11427 Science Sandra Hines (shines@u.washington.edu) and Todd McLeish (tmcleish@uri.edu) http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=11427 Wed, 27 Jul 2005 08:00:00 GMT The University of Washington has been allocated $2.2 million for a planning phase to develop detailed engineering specifications for a cabled underwater research facility to be built off the coast of Washington and Oregon on the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate. http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=33010 Science Environment Technology Sandra Hines (shines@u.washington.edu) http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=33010 Wed, 16 May 2007 01:28:44 GMT Hydrocarbons -- molecules critical to life -- are being generated by the simple interaction of seawater with the rocks under the Lost City hydrothermal vent field in the mid-Atlantic Ocean. Being able to produce building blocks of life makes Lost City-like vents even stronger contenders as places where life might have originated on Earth. http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=39478 Science Sandra Hines (shines@u.washington.edu) and Michael Carlowicz (mcarlowicz@whoi.edu) http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=39478 Thu, 31 Jan 2008 17:33:38 GMT Like a deep-sea bloodhound, Sentry - the newest in an elite group of unmanned submersibles able to operate on their own in demanding and rugged environments - has helped scientists pinpoint optimal locations for two observation sites of a pioneering seafloor laboratory being planned off Washington and Oregon. Successful selection of the two sites is a crucial step in developing an extensive sensor network above and below the seafloor on the Juan de Fuca Plate. http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=43224 Science Environment Sandra Hines (shines@u.washington.edu) http://uwnews.org/article.asp?articleid=43224 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 23:07:01 GMT
