NeMO Net 2002 was recovered June 5, 2003 and NeMO Net 2003 will be deployed in August-September 2003. NeMO
studies the dynamic interactions between submarine volcanic activity and
seafloor hotsprings at an observatory, Axial seamount. A volcanic eruption
occured at Axial in January 1998, destroying some hydrothermal vent sites
and creating new ones. Since then NeMO scientists have been assessing
the impact of the eruption and documenting the on-going changes in Axial's
summit caldera.
