This project involves the detailed analysis of coincident seafloor imagery and hydrothermal measurements of the water column that have been collected along a 600 km long section of the superfast spreading southern East Pacific Rise. Previous regional-scale analysis of these data has revealed the large-scale hydrothermal plume patterns and segment-scale volcanic and tectonic controls on hydrothermal venting at these spreading rates. The project will explore the use of various multivariate statistics to characterize the distribution and connections between the many geophysical and hydrothermal measurements, produce maps of the five known hydrothermal vent areas, and provide constraints on the fine-scale segmentation. Additionally, the project involves student interns and the dissemination of fly-by movies, popular teaching tools that will be available to the public.

该项目涉及对水柱的一致海底图像和水热测量的详细分析，这些分析已沿着超快速扩散的南太平洋上升的600公里长。 对这些数据的先前区域尺度分析揭示了以这些扩散速率以热液通风的大规模热液羽流和段尺度的火山和构造控制。 该项目将探索使用各种多元统计数据来表征许多地球物理和水热测量之间的分布和连接，生成五个已知的热液通风口区域的地图，并在细尺度细分方面提供约束。此外，该项目涉及学生实习生和飞行电影的传播，即将向公众使用的流行教学工具。
