Scientists discover new hydrothermal vents and possible new species in the Gulf of California

EarthzineNovember 27, 2021Schmidt Ocean Institute

Oasisia tubeworms grow above a flange, created by minerals precipitating out of hydrothermal fluid. Sometimes the mineral deposits create long tall structures like chimneys, but in this case it created a flange, wherein with hydrothermal fluid pools underneath it. The different temperature and chemical composition of the fluid from the seawater creates a mirror-like effect.

Scientists from Mexico and the U.S. discovered new hydrothermal vents and six possible new animal species during a 33-day expedition off the coast of California using underwater robots
