Morphometric parameters of the Squid Mounds (SQM), Namibian coral mound province
No full textQuantitative morphometric analyses were carried out for each mound following the workflows presented by Purkis et al. (2007) The coral mound base was defined following the methodological approach of Correa et al. (2012) using the dip angle map, generated from the digital elevation model (DEM), to extract closed polygons that follow the 3°-contour line. This 3°-cutoff has been qualitatively validated with a comparison between the DEM and the dip angle (Fig. 2). Small-scaled polygons within mound perimeters and resulting from bathymetric artifacts were filtered out. Manual editing was applied to split simple merged mound structures (e.g. twin-peak mounds) based on higher cut-off slope values (4-5°). Furthermore, polygons describing the mound footprint have been corrected to remove unrealistic shapes especially common for the CBM. The DEM was subsequently re-gridded to generate hypothetical bathymetric maps without mounds, for which the vertical relief beneath each removed mound was interpolated from the mound perimeters. The newly interpolated surfaces were then subtracted from the original DEMs to evaluate the volume and heights of the coral mounds. Only features with a footprint area greater than 900 squared meters (corresponding to a two-dimensional array of 3 × 3 DEM grid cells) and with a height of >2 m above the surrounding seafloor (4 × 0.5 m of vertical precision) were considered as coral mounds and quantitatively analyzed

Defining the geochemical composition of the newly discovered NEOM brine pool and underlying sedimentary pore waters, Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea
No full textBrine pools are dense bodies of highly saline water that accumulate in depositional lows in the seafloor, and they often host rich extremophile microbial communities with metabolisms analogous to those that arose on early Earth. Since the early 1960’s, several deep-sea brine pools have been discovered in the Red Sea, and many researchers have worked to classify these pools into conceptual models. The first integrates the brine pool temperature and general depositional setting (Duarte et al., 2020). In this model, brine pools like Discovery and Atlantis II are considered ‘hot, axial’ brine pools, while brine pools like Afifi and Thuwal Seeps, which are located much closer to the coastlines with lower temperatures, are considered ‘cool, coastal brines’ (Anschutz et al., 1999; Antunes et al., 2011; Backer & Schoell, 1972; Batang et al., 2012; Cochran et al., 1986; Duarte et al., 2020; Gurvich, 2006). The second conceptual framework classifies the brine pools based on the origin of the brines (Schmidt el al., 2015). In this model, two types of brines were delineated: Type 1 and Type 2 (Schmidt el al., 2015). The brine chemistry of Type I pools is predominantly controlled by evaporite dissolution and sediment alteration, while Type II brine pools are primarily influenced by hydrothermal activity (Schmidt et al., 2015). In 2020, a first of its kind brine pool was discovered in the Gulf of Aqaba during the NEOM-facilitated OceanX ‘Deep Blue’ research cruise. The NEOM brine pool is a cold-water, anoxic brine pool that is situated at abyssal depths (1,770m) in close proximity to the coastline, and was the first brine pool discovered outside the Red Sea proper (Purkis et al., in review). During the OceanX cruise, a transect of 5 short sediment cores (50-150cm) were collected across the western edge of the brine pool, radiocarbon dating indicates that the sediments recovered from these cores span the past 1,200 years (Purkis et al., in review). Thus, motivated to better understand the geochemical conditions that characterize the NEOM brine pool, we compare elemental measurements of the brine pool chemistry to interstitial pore waters extracted using Rhizon samplers in each of the 5 sediment cores. The pore water samples collected from Core 5 were analyzed for elemental composition, alkalinity, and pH. Our preliminary results suggest that sediments directly underlying the center of the brine pool (0-10 cm below the sediment-brine pool interface) contain interstitial pore waters that are less saline than the overlying brine. CTD measurements of in situ temperature indicate that the NEOM brine pool (21oC, Purkis et al., in review) is not a hot brine pool, suggesting that it is most similar to the Thuwal Seeps and Afifi Brine Pools (Batang et al., 2012; Duarte et al., 2020). As proposed by Schmidt et al. (2015), cross plots of Mg/Ca ratios and boron concentrations indicate that the NEOM brine pool is chemically most similar to Type 1 pools like Oceanographer and Kebrit, suggesting that a combination of hydrothermal alteration and sediment-water interaction have produced the brines observed in the NEOM pool. This new elemental dataset allows for a characterization of the range of chemical environments existing within the NEOM brine pool and permits comparison to the other brine pools of the Red Sea. When coupled with metagenomic analysis of the resident microbial communities, characterization of these extreme environments can provide better understanding of the limits of life (Kargel, 1991; Gaidos and Nimmo, 2000; van der Wielen et al., 2005), providing insight calibrated by modern analogues into the geological past, when life may have evolved in high salinity, anoxic seawater, and may inform the search for extraterrestrial life in that brine pools are a high priority target for exploration
