Hydrothermal activity due to the deepest submarine volcanism
Ferromanganese oxides formed by hydrothermal activity have been collected from a petit-spot volcano that erupted on an old and cold oceanic plate prior to subduction. This is the first evidence of hydrothermal activity due to the deepest submarine volcanism.
Declines in western water towers
Mountains act as natural water towers, influencing the water cycle by storing snow until the melt season when downstream demand is high. We calculate and track historic changes in the degree to which mountainous snowpacks delay the timing and amount of water availability relative to precipitation.
