Major processes of the dissolved cobalt cycle in the North and equatorial Pacific Ocean by R. Chmiel, R. Chmiel, N. Lanning, A. Laubach, J.-M. Lee, J. Fitzsimmons, M. Hatta, W. Jenkins, P. Lam, M. McIlvin, A. Tagliabue, M. Saito

“…An intermediate-depth hydrothermal flux of dCo was observed off the Hawaiian coast at the Loihi Seamount, and the elevated dCo was correlated with potential <span class="inline-formula"><i>x</i><i>s</i>³</span>He at and above the vent site; however, the Loihi Seamount likely did not represent a major source of Co to the Pacific basin. …”

Carbon fixation by basalt-hosted microbial communities by Beth N Orcutt, Jason B Sylvan, Daniel eRogers, Daniel eRogers, Jennifer eDelaney, Raymond W Lee, Peter R Girguis

“…Both seafloor-exposed and subseafloor basalts were recovered from different mid-ocean ridge and hot spot environments (i.e., the Juan de Fuca Ridge, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and the Loihi Seamount) and incubated with 13C-labeled bicarbonate. …”

A novel lineage of proteobacteria involved in formation of marine Fe-oxidizing microbial mat communities. by David Emerson, Jeremy A Rentz, Timothy G Lilburn, Richard E Davis, Henry Aldrich, Clara Chan, Craig L Moyer

“…We have used both cultivation and cultivation-independent techniques to study Fe-rich microbial mats associated with hydrothermal venting at Loihi Seamount, a submarine volcano.<h4>Methodology/principle findings</h4>Using gradient enrichment techniques, two iron-oxidizing bacteria, strains PV-1 and JV-1, were isolated. …”

Submarine Deep‐Water Lava Flows at the Base of the Western Galápagos Platform by Molly Anderson, V. Dorsey Wanless, Darin M. Schwartz, Emma McCully, Daniel J. Fornari, Max P. Jones, S. Adam Soule

“…Our modeling indicates that the alkalic samples form from lower extents of melting compared to the tholeiitic lavas and suggests that the deep‐water alkalic lavas are analogous to the initial, preshield building phase observed south of Hawaii and at the base of Loihi Seamount.…”

Hydrothermal Activity and Seismicity at Teahitia Seamount: Reactivation of the Society Islands Hotspot? by Christopher R. German, Joseph A. Resing, Joseph A. Resing, Guangyu Xu, Isobel A. Yeo, Sharon L. Walker, Colin W. Devey, James W. Moffett, Gregory A. Cutter, Olivier Hyvernaud, Dominique Reymond

“…These model seafloor temperatures and our direct plume observations are both consistent with reports from Loihi Seamount, Hawaii, ∼10 year following an episode of seafloor volcanism. …”
