Already, in the ocean, explorers have seen hot hydrothermal vents, alkaline vents, and cold seeps. "But given how little we've seen and how biased it is, we can't really give you a global map of all ...

In this work, six minerals with high contents were selected from sediments collected from the Haima cold seep: illite, chlorite, quartz sand, calcite, potassium feldspar, and albite. The methane ...

On March 1, Beijing officially announced the construction of a deep-sea habitat in these methane-rich “cold seep” zones, where six researchers will live for month-long stretches to study gas ...
