Abstract
The article presents the results of studying changes in the chemical composition of Upper Pleistocene sediments from Hole ODP 1036A drilled in the Middle Valley of the Juan de Fuca oceanic ridge at the Dead Dog hydrothermal field to a depth of 38.50 m, 9 m from a black smoker with a temperature of 268°C. The most significant changes in sediment chemistry occurred in the lower intervals of the hole. In the 20–30.70 m interval, the concentration of a large number of chemical elements increased and, accordingly, the hydrothermal fluid was depleted of these elements. Conversely, in the 30.70–38.5 m interval, the concentration of most chemical elements decreased, which led to significant enrichment of hydrothermal fluid in these elements.
期刊介绍:
Oceanology, founded in 1961, is the leading journal in all areas of the marine sciences. It publishes original papers in all fields of theoretical and experimental research in physical, chemical, biological, geological, and technical oceanology. The journal also offers reviews and information about conferences, symposia, cruises, and other events of interest to the oceanographic community.
