WHOI Webinar: Hydrothermal Vents! Exploring Hot Springs on the Deep Seafloor

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) invites you to an episode of Ocean Encounters: Hydrothermal Vents! Exploring hot springs on the deep seafloor

Like geysers and hot springs on land, hydrothermal vents form in volcanic regions on the ocean bottom, gushing hot, mineral-rich fluids from beneath the seafloor. Join us to hear what scientists have learned about vents and the surprising organisms that thrive there — and what they can teach us about the origins of life on Earth.

Speakers:

• Susan Humphris, Marine Geologist, WHOI
• Tim Shank. Deep-sea Biologist, WHOI
• Rika Anderson, Marine Microbiologist, Carleton College

Host: Véronique LaCapra, Host and Director of Special Projects, WHOI

When: Feb 22, 2023, 7:30-8:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
