The cruise, an integrated, multi-scale study of the Lucky Strike area (Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 37°N), was designed to understand the interplay between tectonics and volcanism along the zone of crustal accretion, constrain the physical and chemical characteristics and temporal evolution of hydrothermal activity, and investigate their effect on geo-microbiological interactions.
