Oregon scientists to explore ocean this month
Six
Oregon
State
University oceanographers
will play leading and sup­
porting roles in March when
a team of American marine
scientists explores a section
of sea floor that has hot
springs and unique animal
colonies that are sustained
14 miles down by the
nutrient -rich warm water
Professors John B Corliss
and Louis I. Gordon will be
among the explorers who go
to the bottom of the ocean in
a 22-foot research sub­
marine.
Milo

Roberta
(B obbi) Conard, M arie
DeAngelis and Marvin Lilley
will be members of the
support team aboard surface
vessels. DeAngelis is a
graduate student. The others
are
fu ll-tim e
research
assistants
The dives will start about
March 5 near the Galapagos
Jalands, which are 500 miles
off the west'coaST of Soqfh
America's Ecuador.
* 'Corhss and Gordon have
been to the bottom there
before They were members
of a 1977 history-making
expedition that discovered
the sea floor hot springs and
the unique biological activity
around them. Clauson and
Lilley provided scientific
support then too
“ The findings were so
significant — essentially all
the animals brought back
were new organisms — and
the unanswered questions so
numerous that the follow-ig)
expedition was planned."
Corliss observed He headed
the 1977 expedition.
The work is funded bv the
US
O ffice
of
N aval
Research and the National
Science Foundation. The
surface vessels are from
Woods
Hole
(Mass )
Oceanographic
Institution
and the Vnnersitv of Miami.
Fla
Surface vessels had helped
to locate the dive sites in
1977.
Ship-lowered
in ­
struments recorded the
sudden changes in tern
perature that suggested hot
springs flow-
Submanne hot springs are
believed to be a major factor
in the formation of metal-
rich sediments on the sea
floor The hot springs also
affect the chemistry of sea
w ater and could even
represent
a
potential
geothermal resource some
day, Corliss said.
The U S. research sub
marine used, the Alvin, is
equipped so the scientists
can bring back water, rock,
sediment and organism
samples and thousands of
photos.
Observations are expected
also to provide new insight
into processes of sea floor
spreading That involves the
formation of new crust that
comes up as molten material
through the cracks in the sea
floor
The spreading also helps
transport
the
w ater-
saturated crust and metal-
rich sediments to land, an
explanation for the mineral
riches of the Andes Moun­
tains that are on the west
coast of South America
The OSU scientists will be
part of the third and last leg
of the exploration Teams of
biologists
and geologists
have gone down earlier The
final group will concentrate
on the chemistry of the hot
springs
and surrounding
waters
“ We’ll go back to some of
the same hot springs as two
years ago." Corliss noted
"That will give us an un­
derstanding of what has
happened in the interim to
the springs and the animal
colonies
“ But we'll also go to the
east and west a mile or so to
look at several new and
warmer springs that have
been found this year."
Twenty-four dives during
an eight-hour trip were made
to the sea floor in 1977
Corliss made 10 and Gordon
three About 10 dives will be
made by each of the three
teams this year.
OSU's Jack Dymond also
made 10 trips to the ocean
floor
two
years
ago;
research assistants Debra
Stakes and Mitchell Lyle
made one each The three
will not be party members
this time, Corliss said.

college credit by registering
harg*
for an additional two weeks
and paying the college fee.
