John Jamieson - Exploring for Massive Sulfide Deposits at the Bottom of the Ocean

This week on geohug is an exciting one as we'll be exploring for massive sulfide deposits at the bottom of the ocean with John Jamieson, an Associate Professor and the Canada Research Chair in Marine Geology at Memorial University, Newfoundland and Labrador.
John's research program focuses on submarine hydrothermal systems and the formation of deep-sea mineral deposits. He uses tools including high-resolution seafloor mapping and collecting and analyzing rock samples to investigate the geological controls on the formation, distribution, and composition of submarine hydrothermal deposits.

I had no idea that the surface of the ocean mimics the topo of the sea floor, this is incredible. And certainly impressed with the difficulty of finding the vents, and all the technology involved in studying them, great talk, thank you, John and thank you, Geohug for hosting
