Introduction: Mars was volcanically active throughout most, if not all, of its history [e.g., 1-4], and volcanism played a significant role in the formation of its surface. Another factor modifying the Martian surface is water, both in liquid and frozen state, and at and beneath the surface [e.g., 5]. Interactions of magma with water and/or ice should be common on Mars, therefore. On Earth, suc...

Since the detection of surface deformation at Mt. Etna it was believed that space-borne radar interferometry may provide a tool to monitor most of the Earth's active volcanoes. We have studied a large number of volcanoes from different environments and show that ERS C-band radar interferometry can be used only to observe certain volcanoes with particular conditions. The best targets for ERS C-b...

Chemosynthetic ecosystems powered by microbial primary production are rare ‘hot spots’ of biological activity in the deep-sea characterized dense aggregations specially adapted animal species. Among settings where such systems have been found, serpentinite-hosted seep supported alkaline geofluid particularly understudied with just a few known sites worldwide. Mariana Forearc hosts world's only ...

Imaging of fluid pathways is crucial to characterize processes taking place in hydrothermal systems, a primary cause volcanic unrest and associated hazards. The joint imaging seismic absorption scattering an efficient instrument map flow at crustal scale, specifically volcanoes; however, this technique has so far been applied image volcanoes systems the kilometre scale. Here, we use data from m...

Mud Recycle is a process option for cane diffuser factories; it eliminates the need for a filter station by using the bed of shredded cane in the diffuser to separate out mud solids from the juice. This paper describes the Mud Recycle system at Maidstone mill and presents the results of a Mud Recycle trial that was carried out during the 1998 season. Maidstone switched to Mud Recycle on a perma...
