海底块状硫化物（SMS）的调查受到现有技术的严重限制，只能探测活跃的形成地点。目前，SMS矿床的探测主要依靠水柱中热液活动喷流的探测和海底形态观测。虽然这些方法已被证明对活跃形成SMS很有价值，但它们无法探测不再与热液活动有关并可能被沉积物覆盖的矿床。因此，为了扩大对SMS的调查范围，有必要开发新技术，以检测已完成其活跃形成阶段的SMS矿床。
Investigations of seafloor massive sulfides (SMS) are strongly limited by the currently available technology to the detection of actively forming sites. At present, the detection of SMS deposits mainly rely on plume detection of active hydrothermal venting in the water column and seafloor morphological observations. While these methods have proven to be valuable for actively forming SMS, they do not allow the detection of deposits which are no longer connected to hydrothermal activity and which are possibly covered by sediments. Therefore, to broaden the scope of investigations on SMS it is necessary to develop new technologies allowing for the detection of SMS deposits which have finished their active formation phase.
