MoMAR : a coordinated and multidisciplinary long-term study of hydrothermal environments at the Mid- Atlantic Ridge / MoMAR-Fr The MOMAR (“Monitoring the Mid-Atlantic Ridge”) project has been developed to promote a coordinated and multidisciplinary long-term study of hydrothermal environments at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) near the Azores (36°N to 40°N). This poster gives an outline of the MoMAR project, as last updated in a recent InterRidge international workshop in Lisbon, and a brief update on cruises planned as part of the french participation to MoMAR. Humphris and McCollum, Oceanus, 41 (2), 1998 Hydrothermal circulation at mid-ocean ridges is a fundamental process that controls the transfer of energy and matter from the interior of the Earth to the crust, hydrosphere and biosphere. Slow-spreading Mid-Atlantic Ridge (12 mm/yr half-rate) In proximity to the Azores 36°to 40°N - consists of several ridge segments: good targets for establishing integrated studies at regional scale, segment scale, and individual vent sites The MOMAR Area The Rainbow vent field. Ultramafic-mafic-seawater interaction. Low pH (~2.8) fluids, high Fe, H 2 concentrations. Synthesis of organic compounds (CH 4 ). Single source for all fluids (small vent field, ~200 m). In international waters The Lucky Strike vent field. Mafic-seawater interaction (B, K, Cs, … enrichment). Two possible circulation systems feeding the vents. Large variability in vent types, T, chemistry…. Large site, > 1 km 2. Marine Protected Area within portuguese EEZ Lucky Strike observatory design The objective there is to set up a permanent seafloor observatory to record seismicity, seafloor deformation, fluid flow, temperature and composition, and the evolution of vent habitats (including microbes). The design shown above reflects planning by international partners at a recent MoMAR meeting in Lisbon. Implementation will begin in for seafloor deformation and near vents habitat monitoring. In a first stage, sensors will be autonomous or linked acoustically to an ASSEM system. The objective is to provide larger energy supply and data transmission capability (cable system) by Lucky Strike The objective there is to turn the site into a natural laboratory for the study of ultramafic-hosted, iron-rich hydrothermal ecosystems. The experimental design at Rainbow involves IODP drilling of the hydrothermal stockwerk, as well as extensive site surveys and repeated sampling. Rainbow is an exceptionnal target for the study of ultramafic-hosted hydrothermal systems. This site is characterized by the abundance of iron, an element which plays a major role at all scales in the ecosystem.

The Lucky Strike vent field is set on top of a rifted volcanoe, in the centre of the Lucky Strike ridge segment.

Lucky Strike observatory design phase I (Visual and chemical monitoring of vent habitats). Proposed: MOMAR-DREAM (PIs J. Dyment&F. Gaill): site characterization at Rainbow in preparation for future IODP drilling & comprehensive, multidisciplinary study of the role of iron in geological, hydrological and biological processes. MOMARTHYNI (Pis J. Escartin&J. Sarrazin): Lucky Strike observatory design phase I (systematic mapping and visual imaging of vent habitats, geodesy, visual and chemical monitoring of vent habitats).
