#hydrothermal — Public Fediverse posts

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌡️🌋 #Yellowstone spans roughly 24 km (15 mi) of #boardwalks around its scalding #hydrothermal features, all built by hand.

Park geologists use thermal #cameras to map the hottest zones and route around them, while botanists flag rare #plants and archaeologists check for buried #artifacts before any path is laid. The process keeps millions of visitors safe without disturbing the area’s fragile #ecosystem or #history.

Jessica Mitchell et al.: Co-expression analysis reveals distinct alliances around two carbon fixation pathways in #hydrothermal vent symbionts https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-024-01704-y

"#CarbonFixation is the process of converting #CarbonDioxide to sugars - the primary process that keeps our #biosphere running... In the #DeepSea, #Riftia's symbionts use energy from hydrogen sulfide to fix #carbon."
