Volcanoes are viewed as large mountains that occasionally spurt smoke and debris into the air. But terrestrial volcanoes are but a small fraction of the volcanos on our planet, most simmer unobserved underneath the sea. The interdependence of biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere at volcanoes is amongst the most exciting and important research topics that help us understand how our planet has evolved and works through time. This project will used manned submersibles and remotely operated vehicles to conduct experiments at a submarine volcano that will help us understand how complex biological systems can form under such extreme conditions.

火山被认为是巨大的山脉，偶尔会向空中喷出烟雾和碎片。 但是陆地火山只是我们星球上火山的一小部分，大多数在海底未被观察到。火山的生物圈、水圈和岩石圈之间的相互依存关系是最令人兴奋和最重要的研究课题之一，有助于我们了解地球是如何演变和工作的。 该项目将使用载人潜水器和遥控潜水器在海底火山进行实验，这将有助于我们了解复杂的生物系统如何在这种极端条件下形成。
