Hello APECS Canada Members!
Currently APECS Canada is putting together some resources that will
help better equip researchers for their work in communities across
Canada's North. To do this we are assembling a list of informative
resources that we will assemble and list on the APECS Canada webpage.
We want to know about resources that you might have used or know about
that helped when you started working in the North. How did you learn
more about the community you were headed? How did you learn about
consultations and permitting? Or if you are thinking about northern
research, where have you been getting your information?
We are particularly interested in:
-blogs by northern researchers/community members
-organization websites
-book recommendations
-photos (that you are willing to have posted on a map on the website)
If you are willing to share your resources, please send links and info
to meagangrabowski@gmail.com and the Northern Resources working group
will be posting a list to the website in the coming months.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best,
Meagan Grabowski

Hi Jennifer,
I saw this message and thought of APECS students. Anyone you know who might be interested in participating on this cruise?
Have a good weekend.

Dear Colleagues
Please forward to any interested parties (and apologies for any cross posting).
There are 2 berths available for international collaborators interested in mid-ocean ridge research, with the support of InterRidge through its Cruise Bursary Scheme.
- one berth for a postdoc or early-career scientist, ideally with expertise in multichannel seismic reflection data acquisition and processing, and/or multibeam bathymetry mapping.
- one berth for a graduate student or post-doc.
The above cruise will be onboard the RV Marcus Langseth, from April 10th (departure St. George, Bermuda) through May 19th (arrival Ponta Delgada, Azores), 2013.
The expedition will conduct:
- 3D active-source wide-angle seismic tomography with an array of 46 ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs);
- 2D multichannel seismic reflection profiling using an 8-km-long, 640-channel hydrophone streamer;
- Deployment of 15 OBS for long-term monitoring (~6-8 months) of local microseismicity.
- Underway acquisition of multibeam bathymetry, gravity, and sea-surface magnetics.
For more information please contact any of the Co-Chief Scientists/PIs:
Pablo Canales, Robert Dunn, Rob Sohn:
jpcanales@whoi.edu
dunn@hawaii.edu
rsohn@whoi.edu
If you wish to make an application, complete an application form
(http://www.interridge.org/cruisebursary) and send it to the InterRidge Office, together with your CV and support letter from your advisor.
Deadline for applications: 31 January 2013
Scientific Objectives:
Seismic Investigation of the Rainbow Hydrothermal Field and its Tectono/Magmatic Setting, Mid-Atlantic Ridge 36deg14'N
Heat extraction from the Earth via hydrothermal systems along mid-ocean ridges (MORs) is a fundamental process affecting the Earth: hydrothermal systems extract approximately one third of the global yearly heat loss through ridges and are a primary means of chemical exchange between the solid Earth and the oceans. It is generally believed that sections of MORs with greater magma supply host a greater abundance of hydrothermal systems.
While this simple conceptual model provides a framework within which to understand hydrothermal heat generation, the relative roles of magmatic heat input, tectonic heat advection, and faulting in controlling ridge thermal structure and hydrothermal circulation are still poorly understood. This is particularly important for hydrothermal circulation at slow- and ultra-slow spreading ridges, where venting occurs in a variety of host-rock lithology and tectonic setting. The Rainbow hydrothermal field (RHF) is a methane-,
hydrogen- and iron-rich !
system located on an ultramafic massif within a tectonized non-transform discontinuity (NTD) of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where current models predict that long-term magma supply should be very low. Yet Rainbow vents high-temperature fluids at high flow rates, which is difficult to explain without a magmatic heat source. This conundrum stands in the way of our ability to develop general models for the roles of magmatic heat input and tectonic faulting on controlling ridge thermal structure and hydrothermal circulation, particularly for hydrothermal systems located in regions dominated by ultramafic lithologies, which are common at slow and ultra-slow MORs.
This project consists of a three-part seismic study of the physical architecture of the crustal and upper mantle at Rainbow to address the following fundamental question: What is the relationship between magmatism, faulting, substrate lithology, and hydrothermal circulation at the Rainbow hydrothermal field? A combination of 3D and 2D high-resolution active-source seismic tomography, 2D multichannel seismic reflection, and passive microearthquake monitoring will allows to determine the tectonic and thermal structure, melt content, and microseismicity around and beneath the RHF to
determine:
. The nature and location of the heat source driving hydrothermal circulation at RHF.
. The nature and origin of the Rainbow massif.
. The role of the local stress field on focusing hydrothermal discharge.
