This project is the initial development of an in-site sensor package designed to quantify spatial and temporal variations of environmental parameters within submarine hydrothermal systems. A prototype sensor will be developed that includes a titanium-sheathed, porous, multi-chambered prove that will allow in-site recording of temperature within the interior of active submarine hydrothermal sulfide chimneys. The ultimate goal is to explore the actual limits to life in vent systems and to define the conditions under which different species or consortia thrive, survive, or expire.

该项目是旨在量化海底热液系统中环境参数的空间和时间变化的现场传感器包的初步开发。 将开发一个原型传感器，其中包括钛壳，多孔，多腔室的证明，该传感器将允许在活性海底硫化物硫化物烟囱内部的温度内进行现场记录。 最终目标是探索排气系统中生命的实际限制，并定义不同物种或财团蓬勃发展，生存或过期的条件。
