Article Synopsis
- * A recent study utilized the Edokko Mark 1 monitoring system to directly observe a turbidity current in Suruga Bay, Japan, which was triggered by the aftermath of Super Typhoon Hagibis in 2019.
- * The findings indicated that this turbidity current led to significant vertical displacement of water, carrying warmer, shallower waters down into deeper areas of the bay, highlighting the importance of meteorological events in deep-sea sediment and water dynamics.
Since the initial discovery of hydrothermal vents in 1977, these 'extreme' chemosynthetic systems have been a focus of interdisciplinary research. The Okinawa Trough (OT), located in the semi-enclosed East China Sea between the Eurasian continent and the Ryukyu arc, hosts more than 20 known vent sites but all within a relatively narrow depth range (600-1880 m). Depth is a significant factor in determining fluid temperature and chemistry, as well as biological composition.
