Four years after the “InterRidge statement of commitment to responsible research practices at deep-sea hydrothermal vents” was published, it seems appropriate to evaluate the potential awareness, relevance and efficiency of this code of conduct. Duke University, in collaboration with InterRidge, propose a survey, dispatched among the scientific community working at hydrothermal vents.
Participate in the survey before March 15th 2010. It will take 5-10 minutes.
You are cordially invited to consider joining as a contributing author to the new research topic “Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems and Deep-Sea Fisheries” in Frontiers in Marine Science https://www

Continuing to explore the Gulf of California, Pescadero Basin Expedition aims to explore the geological, biological and geochemical features of the recently discovered Pescadero Basin hydrothermal vents. From October 30 to November 6, 2017, E/V Nautilus will launch the second expedition exploring little-known regions of this region’s seafloor with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
OCE is carefully considering input from the marine seismic community and
the UNOLS Marcus Langseth Science Oversight Committee (MLSOC) regarding
ways to improve experiment planning. This advice, together with internal
NSF discussions, leads us to adopt a Regional Framework Path for marine
Recently Prof. Roger Searle, University of Durham have published a book Mid-Ocean Ridges.
InterRidge continues support of cruise travel bursaries. These are to enable early career, ridge-crest scientists to participate in mid-ocean ridge research cruises. Up to $2000 USD will be awarded for travel and subsistence costs to facilitate embarkation and disembarkation.
The InterRidge Office is calling for articles to be included in this year's InterRidge News, Vol. 21, published in November 2013, and we would very much like to hear from contributors. Suitable material includes preliminary results of research related to ridges, back-arc basins and ophiolites. Also, we are looking for general articles on shipboard or immediate post-cruise results, new equipment, opinion articles and workshops reports. In particular, we would want you to supply 1-4 high resolution images with any article (minimum pixel width = 1000).
This document has been prepared over the last year and is now available at: http://www.interridge.org/files/interridge/Third_Decadal_Plan_website_0.pdf. If you would like a hard copy (within the IR News 2012), please write in to the IR Office (coordinator@interridge.org).
A new InterRidge Liaison Panel for the formation of guidelines concerning exploration and exploitation of vents has been formed. It will liaise with mining interests and policy makers to engage all interested in the very topical issue of SMS deposits at hydrothermal vents.
