End Date:
1-Jun-98 This cruise originated in Manzanillo Mexico and ended in San Diego CA. We used the deep submersible ALVIN for 14 dives on the East Pacific Rise at about 9°N. This was our fourth NSF sponsored cruise in an ongoing project with Dr. Lauren Mullineaux of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Dr. Charles Peterson of UNC Chapel Hill. We are studying the ecology of recruitment and successionin hydrothermal vent communities using artificial recruitment substrates (basalt settlement blocks) and manipulative in-situ experiments. In addition to the core group of scientists and students working on this project, guest scientists from England, France, Austria, Canada, Greece, Spain, and Italy participated in the cruise.
