Abstract:
The Red Sea is a very young ocean, and is one of the most interesting areas on Earth (ocean in statu nascendi). It is the only ocean where hydrothermal activity associated with ore formation occurs in a sterile environment (anoxic, hot, saline). In addition, its geographical position means that it is predestined to record the monsoonal history of the region in detailed sedimentary sequences.
The major aim of the present project is to investigate the dynamics of hydrothermal systems in selected Deeps (Atlantis-II, Discovery, Kebrit, Al Wajh), Additional palaeoceanographic and microbiological questions should also be addressed.
Specific aims are:
1. To study the hydrographic changes in individual Deeps (hydrothermal region Atlantis-II) and to investigate the causes of the temperature increase in the last few years (increased heat flow - higher temperature of the brine supply - higher brine flow rates?).
2.a. To document the influence of the hydrothermal systems on the sedimentary organic matter in the Deeps. In particular, the thermogenic production and migration of hydrocarbons in the sediments will be studied. The complex formation mechanisms (bacterial, thermogenic) of short-chain hydrocarbons (trace gases) will also be examined,
2.b. in addition, the polar and macromolecular fraction in samples from the various deeps will be studied in order to elucidate the formation, structure and source of the macromolecular oil fraction.
3. To clarify the palaeoceanographic conditions, sea-level changes and the climatic history (relationship of the circulation system and nutrient supply to the monsoon) of the southern Red Sea.
4. To separate microorganisms from the brines and to characterise them in terms of their metabolic physiology and ecology, and to describe their taxonomy.
