Here, we present the first comparative metagenomic analysis of two different deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney microbiomes: one from a carbonate chimney at the ultramafic hosted Lost City vent ...

The research team developed a process to capture CO2 from waste gas by passing it directly from a chimney top through a water column rich in nickel nanoparticles. The solid calcium carbonate can ...

The process developed by the Newcastle team involves passing the waste gas directly from the chimney top, through a water column rich in Nickel nano-particles and recovering the solid calcium ...

The tallest of the 30 or so carbonate structures there, a 60-m chimney, is still growing. It easily tops the largest chimney ever found at a black smoker–a 41-m-tall sulfide specimen off ...

Image: The top few feet of an actively venting carbonate chimney shows the development of delicate, fingerlike crystals. To the left is the sampling arm of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution ...

like in a chamber fitted inside a factory chimney through which CO2 would pass before being emitted into the atmosphere, and it would convert the greenhouse gas into calcium carbonate.” ...

The researchers have nicknamed the area “Chimney-henge” because of the resemblance of the circular arrangement of the carbonate chimneys in the volcanic deep seabed area to England’s Stonehenge.

Seafloor carbonate rocks are common, and in some places they form unusual chimney-like structures. These chimneys reach 12 to 60 inches in height and are found in groups along the seafloor resembling ...
