Hydrotermisen
Hydrotermisen is a term used in some interdisciplinary discussions to denote the study of hydrothermal processes and their influence on geochemical cycles, mineralogy, and energy flow in subsurface and vent environments. The name combines elements referring to water (hydro) and heat (thermal), with a suffix that suggests a field of study or phenomenon.
Hydrotermisen refers to the coupled interactions among hydrothermal fluids, surrounding rock, minerals, and living systems in
Key topics include fluid-rock interaction, mineral deposition (for example sulfide-rich assemblages), heat and mass transfer, and
Approaches combine in situ vent measurements and submarine sampling with laboratory experiments that simulate high-temperature fluids,
Possible applications encompass mineral exploration, optimization of geothermal energy exploitation, and the assessment of biosignatures and
