MLML/SJSU's geological oceanographer, Dr. Ivano Aiello and his colleagues recently published their study, "Characteristics and Evolution of sill-driven off-axis hydrothermalism in Guaymas Basin–the Ringvent site" in Nature's Scientific reports. To help science better understand the complex evolution of hydrothermal systems, the research team studied a young marginal seafloor spreading system, the Guayamas Basin, located in the Gulf of California.
