Jill McDermott processes samples aboard the R/V Atlantis where the goal of the research on this cruise was to characterize the geology, geochemistry, microbiology and macrobiology of two new hydrothermal fields on the Mid-Cayman Rise: The Piccard and the Von Damm hydrothermal fields.
Image Of the Day caption:
MIT-WHOI Joint Program graduate student Jill McDermott learned about hydrothermal vent chemistry from one of the mastersshe was one of Karen Von Damm's last students. McDermott recalled her mentor's face lighting up at the prospect of finding a vent in the very deep ocean, well below 2,500 meters. Unfortunately, Von Damm passed away before her dream was realized by Chris German and others in 2009. Today, McDermott studies the chemistry of fluids issuing from the Mid-Cayman Rise 4,960 meters below the surfaceat the Piccard and Von Damm vent fields.
