Sampling Fluids for a Year

An Osmotic fluid sampler is installed in a small diffuse flow site hosting abundant tubeworms, limpets, and palm worms in the ASHES hydrothermal fluid. When recovered next year, the fluids this sampler host will provide information on how vent fluid chemistry changes over time. Credit: NSF-OOI/UW/ISS; Dive R1835; V15.
