The 3D thermistor array designed by RSN Project Scientist Giora Proskurowski is attached to the Medium Powered J-Box (MJ03B) in the ASHES hydrothermal field. In 2014, the array was deloyed in a diffuse flow site at the base of the vent called Mushroom, along with a high-definition video camera and an osmo vent fluid sampler. VISIONS '13, Leg 4

The Mushroom hydrothermal chimney at the ASHES vent field hosts dense communities of limpets, a variety of worms (palm, tube, scale, sulfide), and filamentous bacteria. This mosaic was compiled by M. Elend, UW, from several high definition images.
The Mushroom hydrothermal chimney at the ASHES vent field, hosts dense communities of limpets, a variety of worms (palm, tube, scale, sulfide), and filamentous bacteria. The chimney rises ~ 4 m above the seafloor. This mosaic was compiled by M. Elend, University of Washington from several high definition images.
