This review has been initiated from the works of the SCOR-InterRidge working group “Hydrothermal energy transfer and the ocean carbon cycle” lead by N. Le Bris and C. R. German, with P. Lokabharathi, S.M. Sievert, and P. Girguis also being members.
Recent paper of InterRidge Working Group on Ecological Connectivity and Resilience
InterRidge Working Group on Ecological Connectivity and Resilience, chaired by Anna Metaxas and Lauren Mullineaux, has recently published a review entitled "Exploring the Ecology of Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents in a Metacommunity Framework" in Frontiers in Marine Science. Congratulations to authors for this thorough review of current knowledge and gaps on the mechanisms supporting the stability of vent meta-communities, of high relevance to the assessment of impacts at regional scales and design of protection plans!
Call for submissions for the InterRidge News
InterRidge News is published annually by the InterRidge Office. The next - 23rd Volume shall be published in November 2017. Our newsletter contains brief research articles, the world ridge cruise schedule, updates from the InterRidge Working Groups and from our National Correspondents, and a calendar of upcoming meetings of interest to the InterRidge community. InterRidge News is intended for the rapid publication of preliminary results and cruise reports that do not appear in other publications.
