Bah. There's a secret, well hidden group of crawdads whose memories can last for up to three hours. They're using the planning capacity this gives them to secretly move crawdad society from behind the scenes, and some of them are spending a decent amount of their time constantly briefing each other on the Big Schemes, which can be much more complicated than the schemes of a mere mortal crawdad. This conspiracy is a lot easier to hide than most, given that those who discover it won't remember in a quarter of an hour anyway. _______________________________________ The Delta Green Mailing List http://www.delta-green.com/comint/dgml/ From: owner-deltagreen@revolutionsf.com on behalf of jon.turner [jon.turner@ntlworld.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 7:08 AM To: deltagreen@revolutionsf.com Subject: Re: [DG] Come and work for PISCES Bill spake thus: > Oh, how I hate you.

See last paragraph The Glove Cleaner "Even quite conservative estimates suggest that the inclusion of all the microbes that are likely to be present beneath seafloor hydrothermal systems could double estimates of the total biomass on Earth " Beneath the permanent ice cover of the Arctic Ocean, evidence has been found of extensive hydrothermal activity along the world's slowest-spreading and least volcanically active plate-tectonic boundary, the Gakkel Ridge (H. Edmonds, Univ. Texas). This discovery is as notable for astrobiologists as for others, in that it will provide a natural testing ground for techniques that could be used to explore Jupiter's ice-bound satellite Europa. Meanwhile, preliminary investigations of some of the first vent fluids to be collected from the Indian ocean - from one of only two known sites, both identified within the past year or so - have shown that these samples are more chemically enriched than similar fluids studied previously (K. Von Damm, Univ. New Hampshire). But why study these hydrothermal systems? Surely, even if they are dramatic (Fig. 1), they are of only marginal significance and appeal? The answer has several facets, not least of which is that hydrothermal activity is part of the way in which the Earth works. Such activity is intimately linked to plate tectonics and occurs almost exclusively at ocean ridges, yet to Earth scientists it represents a significant cooling process for the planet as a whole. For oceanographers, hydrothermal fluxes of chemicals entering the oceans (notably iron and manganese, but also methane, hydrogen and hydrogen sulphide) are comparable to those from rivers, and help to buffer the chemical balance of the oceans and atmosphere. The best estimates suggest that the entire volume of the oceans is processed through high-temperature vents every ten million years, and through deep-sea hydrothermal plumes every few thousand years. The latter timescale is similar to that of the mixing time for the modern-day deep ocean, and shorter than that of glacial-interglacial oscillations. Hydrothermal vents offer plenty for life scientists, too: more than 400 new species have so far been found at vent sites, representing the discovery of one new species every two weeks, on average, throughout the past quarter-century. These organisms range from anaerobic microbes all the way to spectacular red-plumed tubeworms, which can reach several metres in length. In between are organisms such as the blind shrimps of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, now also known to be present in the Indian Ocean, which are only a few centimetres long but swarm in millions around individual vent sites. Hydrothermal vent microbes seem to sit at the very base of the 'tree of life', and provide insights into both the origins of life here on Earth and its possible existence elsewhere in the Solar System. One theme was the extremes of temperature, pressure, pH and salinity under which hydrothermal fauna thrive, and what this can tell us about the limits to life on Earth. A typical hydrothermal vent may emit fluids that are not only hot (350 °C or more), but also acidic (pH 3-4) and highly toxic, with high concentrations of dissolved hydrogen sulphide and heavy metals such as cadmium, arsenic and lead. Indeed, life on our planet is the rule rather than the exception - it has adapted to almost the entire range of physicochemical variables observed, at least on Earth's outermost shell (thinking laterally, one can conclude that the most hostile environments for microbes are not 'natural' but those that are policed by the food-hygiene industry). Even quite conservative estimates suggest that the inclusion of all the microbes that are likely to be present beneath seafloor hydrothermal systems could double estimates of the total biomass on Earth (M. Summit, Washington Univ., St Louis; J. Baross, Univ. Washington, Seattle). Whenever volcanoes erupt on the sea floor, huge quantities of these microorganisms, together with life-sustaining chemical nutrients, are released into the overlying water column (J. Cowen, Univ. Hawaii). Deep-ocean currents then propel these materials along the ridge crest (K. Speer, Florida State Univ.). Taken together, these findings suggest that there is a corridor of high-productivity water just a few tens of kilometres wide, and less than 500 metres from top to bottom, that threads its way through the deep ocean, allowing rapid colonization of new vent sites. Understanding the diversity and distribution of fauna at these different vent sites is one of the main threads of modern hydrothermal research2. Understanding how hydrothermal systems evolve - physically and chemically, over years and decades - is an equally tantalizing goal. _______________________________________ The Delta Green Mailing List http://www.delta-green.com/comint/dgml/ From: owner-deltagreen@revolutionsf.com on behalf of Rayburn, Russell E.

Ehm. Sorry for getting personal. Deep sea vents are indeed a fascinating subject, and one about which I'm forever planning a series of science fiction stories. The oceans are likelier to become the next frontier of humanity than Alpha Centauri, after all, and what you can meet down there - without having to resort to Abyss-style gimmicks - is likely to be way out alien. I already called the vents in question way back long time ago when grass was green, discussing Deep One cities. It's good to see that as our knowledge of the subject evolves, stuff keeps popping up on this list. For people interested in the subject, I can suggest the absolutely excellent "The Octopus's Garden - Hydrothermal vents and other mysteries of the sea", by Cindy Lee Van Dover - a book that I'm sure must figure on the Herald's shelf (I'd be rather let down should he have missed it). Sorry for the lack of ISBN, but I've the Italian edition. Cheers!

I haven't looked it over for a while, so I probably am remembering the illustration. I can guess what she's turning into, too. I am surprised that no one has reworked the campaign and put it back into print. It wasn't a bad scenario, and if edit some fo the finale, it would be qutie tasty.

You're the only person I'm aware of with the exception of my father who tends to read books at a speed similar to mine. I tend to average around 180 pages per hour, more or less depending on print size, distractions, level of interest in the book, and similar factors. Out of curiosity, have you ever been diagnosed with ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, or something similar? Oh, and because insulting seems obligatory here.

Operation Seeteufel [Sea-Devil] But probably they would rather hide the true aspekts of the operation behind a seemingly innocent name like Operation Garnele [Operation Shrimp]. Or what about Operation Wassermann [ Operation Aquarius ]? Operation "Söhne Neptuns" [Operation Sons of Neptune] eckhard _______________________________________ The Delta Green Mailing List http://www.delta-green.com/comint/dgml/
