Can Serpentinite Dehydration Release Sulfate-rich Fluids into Sub-arc Mantle?
Serpentinite dehydration is essential for water recycling in subduction zones, the released fluids are considered to be a critical component in the oxidation of the sub-arc mantle.Serpentinite dehydration is essential for water recycling in subduction zones, the released fluids are considered to be a critical component in the oxidation of the sub-arc mantle. However, whether the serpentinite-derived fluids are oxidized or reduced...

Study Explains Dynamics of Interannual Eddy Kinetic Energy Variability in Sulawesi Sea
Mesoscale eddies are essential for the distribution of thermohaline and biochemical properties, and act as a bridge for the energy cascade between large-scale circulation and submesoscale dynamical processes.Mesoscale eddies are essential for the distribution of thermohaline and biochemical properties, and act as a bridge for the energy cascade between large-scale circulation and submesoscale dynamical processes. The Sulawesi Sea is the primary entrance for...

Exploring Sedimentary Response to Eocene Tectonic and Climate Changes in Southeast Indian Ocean
The Eocene was a critical period in Earth's climate history that encompassed profound climatic and oceanographic reorganization from the greenhouse conditions of the early Eocene to the icehouse state of the early Oligocene. This interval was also a per...The Eocene was a critical period in Earth's climate history that encompassed profound climatic and oceanographic reorganization from the greenhouse conditions of the early Eocene to the icehouse state of the early Oligocene.

Researchers Find Novel Zero-valent Sulfur Production Pathway in Deep-sea Sulfate-reducing Bacterium
Zero-valent sulfur (ZVS) is an important intermediate in the biogeochemical sulfur cycle, and it accumulates at sediment surfaces under the sea floor (including in cold seeps and hydrothermal vents). In previous studies, production of ZVS as the interme...Zero-valent sulfur (ZVS) is an important intermediate in the biogeochemical sulfur cycle, and it accumulates at sediment surfaces under the sea floor (including in cold seeps and hydrothermal vents).
