In 2019, the Deep Carbon Observatory is both celebrating a decade of discovery and launching the next decade of deep carbon science. ...
A study of volcanic hydrothermal sites worldwide suggests that hydrocarbons at some of these locations can appear to form in the absence of life, but actually overwhelmingly originate as organic matter, carried in by surface water, which is then broken down under high temperatures and open system conditions....
A new initiative entitled The Ocean Floor – Earth’s Uncharted Interface, is receiving more than $8 million annually for seven years to investigate the interactions among biological, geological, and chemical processes at the ocean floor. ...
Researchers adapted sonar equipment to quantify the amount of methane bubbling up from the floor of the East Siberian Arctic Sea. If deployed on research vessels more widely, these instruments could provide data for more accurate estimates of the global flux of methane from the ocean floor to the atmosphere. ...
A large contingent of DCO researchers will participate in Goldschmidt 2019 on 18–23 August 2019 in Barcelona, Spain....
