Status: Published

  • geochemistry
  • hydrothermal fluids
  • black smokers
Geochemical investigations of hydrothermal vent fluids from black smokers on the Southern East Pacific Rise to understand how fluid-rock reactions generate hydrothermal fluids with distinct geochemical signatures. Processing and measurement of high temperature and pressure submarine hydrothermal fluids using methods such as ion chromatography (IC), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), in-situ chemical speciation modelling (e.g., SUPCRT92, EQ3/6).
