Hydrothermal Vent Fauna of Escanaba Trough (Gorda Ridge)

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Hydrothermal vent communities on Gorda Ridge were discovered and documented during 1988 field programs using the deep-diving submersibles Alvin and Sea Cliff. Venting was associated with large sulfide mounds that comprise the NESCA site in the Escanaba Trough of Gorda Ridge (41° 00′ N; 127° 29′ W; 3,200 to 3,250 m). Details of the geological setting are presented elsewhere in this volume.
