Dr. Wozniak was parked on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean beneath nearly 1.6 miles of water in <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/06\/21\/science\/alvin-submersible-ocean.html\" title=\"\">Alvin, a research submersible<\/a>. As far as he could see lay a mostly barren expanse of jet-black rock.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Just a day before, at this same spot, a vibrant ecosystem had thrived in the sweltering waters of the Tica hydrothermal vent, about 1,300 miles west of Costa Rica. Creatures inhabited every inch of the rocky seafloor, writhing in a patchwork of life. The crimson tips of giant tube worms waggled in the current, tangling around clusters of mussels. Buglike crustaceans scuttled through the scene while ghostly white fish languidly prowled for their next kill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Now, only a single cluster of tube worms remained in the blackened terrain, all dead. A haze of particulates filled the water as glints of bright orange lava flickered among the rocks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cMy brain was trying to understand what was going on,\u201d Dr. Wozniak said. \u201cWhere did things go?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Eventually it clicked: He and the sub\u2019s other passengers were witnessing the tail end of a submarine volcanic eruption that had entombed the flourishing ecosystem under fresh lava rock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This was the first time scientists had witnessed a clearly active eruption along the mid-ocean ridge, a volcanic mountain chain that stretches about <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/01\/12\/science\/midocean-ridges-volcano-underwater.html\" title=\"\">40,000 miles around the globe<\/a>, like the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/oceanexplorer.noaa.gov\/facts\/mid-ocean-ridge.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">seams of a baseball<\/a>. The ridge marks the edges of tectonic plates as they pull apart, driving volcanic eruptions and creating fresh crust, or the layer of the Earth we live on, beneath the sea.

Before this latest sighting, only two underwater eruptions had been caught in action, and neither was along a mid-ocean ridge, said Bill Chadwick, a volcanologist at Oregon State University who was not on the research team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThat\u2019s a super exciting first,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Observing such an event live offers a unique opportunity for scientists to study one of our planet\u2019s most fundamental processes: the birth of new seafloor, and its dynamic effects on ocean chemistry, ecosystems, microbial life and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBeing there in real time is just this absolutely phenomenal gift \u2014 I\u2019m really jealous,\u201d said Deborah Kelley, a marine geologist at the University of Washington who was not part of the research team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Wozniak and colleagues sailed on a ship, the R\/V Atlantis, before setting out in the Alvin sub. Their original goal was to study carbon flowing from the Tica vent, funded by the National Science Foundation. Hydrothermal vents are like a planetary plumbing system, expelling seawater that\u2019s heated as it seeps through the ocean floor. The process transports both heat and chemicals from Earth\u2019s interior, helping regulate ocean chemistry and feeding a unique community of deep marine life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The dive on Tuesday morning started like any other. Alyssa Wentzel, an undergraduate at the University of Delaware who joined Dr. Wozniak aboard Alvin, described the enchantment of sinking into the darkness of the ocean depths on the 70-minute journey to the seafloor. As the light vanished, bioluminescent jellies and tiny zooplankton drifted by.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was magical,\u201d she said. \u201cIt really takes your words away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But as they approached the site, a darker magic set in as temperatures slowly ticked upward and particles filled the water. The usual dull gray-brown of the seafloor was capped by tendrils of inky rock that glimmered with an abundance of glass \u2014 the result of rapid quenching when lava hits chilly water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As particulates clouded the view from Alvin, Kaitlyn Beardshear of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the pilot in command of the day\u2019s journey, slowed the sub, keeping close watch on the temperatures. As they ticked up, so too did concerns for safety of the submersible and the crew. Eventually, the pilot made the call to retreat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was an incredible sight to see,\u201d they said. \u201cAll the life and features that I had seen just a few days before, wiped away. I can\u2019t believe we were so lucky to have been there within a few hours of eruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The team learned after returning to the ship that sensitive microphones, called hydrophones, aboard the Atlantis had detected the volcanic eruption earlier in the day. It registered as a series of low frequency booms and campfire-like crackle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This was the third known eruption at the Tica vent since its discovery in the 1980s. Over the decades, Dan Fornari, a marine geologist at Woods Hole, and his colleagues have <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/tos.org\/oceanography\/issue\/volume-25-issue-01\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">closely monitored the site<\/a>, tracking changes in temperature, water chemistry and more. Combining these analyses with modeling of seafloor spreading, they realized the site seemed poised for an eruption, proposing it would happen either sometime this year or last.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In 1991, he and his colleagues had arrived at Tica within days of an eruption\u2019s start. It might even have still been active, he said, but they saw no flashes of lava to confirm. This time, he said, there\u2019s no doubt of what the Alvin crew saw. \u201cThis has been the closest that we ever come to witnessing the initiation of an eruption\u201d along the mid-ocean ridge, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The team is continuing to study the volcanic activity. Given safety concerns, they\u2019re collecting data and taking photographs remotely from the Atlantis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The data will help researchers unravel the mysteries of deep-sea volcanism and the role it plays in marine ecosystems. \u201cAll of this has to do with understanding this holistic system that is Earth and ocean,\u201d Dr. Fornari said. \u201cIt\u2019s so intertwined, and it\u2019s both complex and beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/02\/science\/deep-ocean-volcanic-eruption-pacific.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Wozniak, a chemical oceanographer at the University of Delaware, struggled to process what his eyes were taking in.
