MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences image: White waters of Kueishantao: sulfur-rich hydrothermal fluids turn the sea milky Photo: MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences Credit: MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences Extremely harsh conditions can be found even in shallow marine waters A common cause for this is the presence of hydrothermal systems where dissolved materials from the Earth’s interior make their way to the surface These systems are usually the only energy source in the deep sea because photosynthesis is not possible in the dark depths near the volcanic island of Kueishantao in eastern Taiwan The island is surrounded by hydrothermal vents in shallow water Hot and acidic water rises to the surface here and alters the sea-water chemistry “These chimneys release super-heated highly acidic water into the overlying water columns One might think that such an extreme location is lifeless but it is actually full of life because at the same time the vents are constantly producing chemical energy in the form of reduced chemical compounds,” says Joely Maak first author of the study and a PhD student at MARUM One of the predominant organisms at these hydrothermal systems is a microorganism called Campylobacteria is the reductive tricarboxylic acid (rTCA) cycle This cycle is a biochemical pathway for transferring carbon into organic molecules and biomass Compared to the more widely utilized Calvin cycle organisms using rTCA do not have to go through as many energy-intensive steps That is the secret weapon that makes it possible for them to predominate in this extreme environment “The analysis of isotope ratios has enabled us to track the carbon fixed using this 'secret weapon' even into the crab that lives there - a transfer that could not be detected in this way before,” explains Dr The study is an integral element of research within the current Cluster “The Ocean Floor – Earth’s Uncharted Interface” The main objective here is to gain a better understanding of ocean-floor ecosystems under changing environmental conditions and material cycles MARUM produces fundamental scientific knowledge about the role of the ocean and the seafloor in the total Earth system The dynamics of the oceans and the seabed significantly impact the entire Earth system through the interaction of geological These influence both the climate and the global carbon cycle resulting in the creation of unique biological systems MARUM is committed to fundamental and unbiased research in the interests of society and in accordance with the sustainability goals of the United Nations It publishes its quality-assured scientific data to make it publicly available MARUM informs the public about new discoveries in the marine environment and provides practical knowledge through its dialogue with society MARUM cooperation with companies and industrial partners is carried out in accordance with its goal of protecting the marine environment 10.5194/bg-22-1853-2025 The energy-efficient reductive tricarboxylic acid cycle drives carbon uptake and transfer to higher trophic levels within the Kueishantao shallow-water hydrothermal system are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert by contributing institutions or for the use of any information through the EurekAlert system Copyright © 2025 by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) « Back Electrochemistry relies on charge transfer which can occur on time scales from femtoseconds to seconds or longer Traditional electrochemical detection methods are limited in their ability to study ultrafast processes such as solvent reorganization and electron tunneling (Fig This presentation focuses on the advancements and challenges in ultrafast electrochemistry specifically exploring processes occurring on timescales shorter than the RC time constant Traditional electrochemical processes have typically been studied over longer timescales often constrained by limitations in mass diffusion and hardware capabilities recent developments in ultrafast laser technology and femtochemistry have enabled the observation of rapid processes with femto /pico second time resolution at electrochemical interfaces such as ultrafast potential relaxation in electric double layers and the dynamics of solvated electrons The advancement and enhancement of sustainability-focused systems renewable energy conversion and storage devices requires a molecular level comprehension of solid/liquid interfaces At the interface of a charged metal with an electrolyte and ions form an electric double layer (EDL) the role of anion adsortipn on electrosynthesis To this end classical competitive adsorbption stuidies at rotating disc electrodes are complemented by differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) and surface enhanced IR spectroscopy (SEIRAS) This reveals the impact of redox-inactive anions and moelculare backbones on the selective electrocatalytic oxidation of aldehydes on gold surfaces  a class of reactions that will be crucial for the production of former “petro” chemicals from a renewable feedstock [3] Ambrym volcanic activity is continuing in the major unrest state Ambrym Volcanic Alert Level remains at Level 2 Major volcanic unrest continues at Ambrym volcano and confined inside Benbow and Marum craters New field observations and data analysis confirmed that Ambrym volcanic activity conditions at this major unrest state remain unstable This activity is likely to continue at similar level The danger zone for life safety remain at 1 km radius from Benbow crater and 2 km radius from Marum crater and major cracked of 2018 eruption at the south eastern part of Ambrym Recent field observation photos via webcam showed ongoing small steam cloud emission (fumarole) from both craters Analysis of seismic data confirmed the ongoing major volcanic unrest activity on Ambrym volcanic hazards remain inside Benbow crater areas around Marum crater and areas of major cracks of 2018 eruption at the South East of Ambrym Ambrym volcanic alert level remain at Level 2 since 17th January 2024 Observations of the current activity are consistent with the Volcanic Alert Level 2 The danger zone is at the Exclusion Zone which is about 1 km radius from Benbow crater and the Danger Zone A which is about 2 km radius from Marum crater with major cracked areas at the south eastern part of Ambrym” it is a useful reminder that eruptions can occur with little or no warnings The Vanuatu Meteorology and Geohazards Department continues to closely monitor this volcano activity.

parole after serving 16 years for her death Marum told a parole board that he is remorseful and ashamed of the killing blaming the gruesome crime on drug and alcohol addiction "I have panic attacks all the time," Claudia said "I had a broken heart that gave me a heart attack," Glenn said "He murdered her in her sleep with a claw part of the hammer He hit her 13 times and left the hammer in her head," Claudia said Marum was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison in exchange for his guilty plea to second-degree murder The Sinkules said their only hope of keeping Marum in prison is to appeal to Governor Gavin Newsom The parole board's recommendation now sits on his desk and he has the power to keep Marum in prison or release him to the public They have collected over 5,000 signatures on a petition that asks to keep Marum in prison They will also meet with the Governor's staff in mid-January to plead with them not to release Marum The Sinkules started a Foundation in their daughter's name to help women and strengthen laws they say failed their daughter Eileen Marum studied public policy and has already made her mark on Marion by drafting its marijuana bylaw she is running for a

From the first whistle, fans were gripped by the intensity of the game, as these known rugby powerhouses fought for dominance. Every tackle and try was met with roars from the crowd, creating an electric atmosphere in the stands. In their first appearance at the Marum Challenge, the Gurias didn’t just play—they conquered. With the newly refurbished stadium packed with passionate supporters, the team delivered a performance that will be remembered for years to come. This match was more than just a game; it was a tribute to former PNG Kumuls coach Michael Marum, and it lived up to his legacy with top-notch rugby league action from both teams. The Gurias wasted no time in setting the pace. Daniel Pai powered through the Vipers’ defense four minutes into the first half to score the first try, and when Wesley Batari nailed the conversion, the Gurias were up 6-0. Thirteen minutes later, Steven Bruno’s long pass found Dominic Anis on the wing, who dived over the line for another try. Batari’s precision brought the score to 12-0. Not long after, Mark Alunga joined the action, diving in from the wing with 12 minutes left in the first half. Batari’s conversion pushed the lead to 16-0. The Vipers weren’t ready to back down. With four minutes remaining before halftime, Leon Undupai managed to break through for a try. Despite Joel Genah’s missed conversion, the Vipers went into the break trailing 16-4. The second half turned into a defensive battle, with neither side giving an inch for 26 minutes. The Gurias found their breakthrough in the final 12 minutes. Mark Alunga, with a clever dummy run, charged in for another try, and Batari’s reliable boot made it 22-4. As the clock ticked down, the Gurias added another try, with Batari once again converting to extend their lead to 28-4. The Vipers, showing true grit, scored a final try through Patrick Morea, with Genah converting to bring the full-time score to 28-10. The Gurias’ triumph earned them the coveted Marum Challenge trophy. The Man of the Match medal plus K500 cash prize was also awarded to Gurias bulldozer, Steven Bruno.

we have the coaching capacity…like a local can carry the team how long will it take for us to make sure one day one of our own home-grown coach to move the team forward.” He said there is also quite a lot to be done in terms of all the upskilling in coaching and training towards preparing the team “I want to see some young kids of today come 2028 first game wear the jersey and play “We did it with the PNG Hunters back in 2014 when we started no one thought we going to win the first game in Redcliffe but come first whistle the boys ran out with pride and play for the country.” “Few years later we brought the Cup (QRL) from Australia back home to PNG.” Marum insists there is more work to be done there is a lot of work to be done…before we reach 2028 the PNG NRL Committee has to have people to work alongside them to ensure the footy team is successful.” there needs to be more school programs for the young kids because a 13-year-old today might be a potential candidate in 2028 squad.” He said NRL has structures in place and there needs to be focus on junior development like in the Under 14s or even Under 18s to be part of programs “Make sure we are ready and those young kids in the rural areas get excited for such a lifetime opportunity that does not come often.” “The other NRL pacific team is New Zealand and all the players from other countries in the Pacific will also be looking to field a team.” Loving mother of Sharon Fernandes of Stoughton Also lovingly survived by 12 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren Mabel worked as an administrative assistant for Keohane Funeral Home in Quincy for many years She was a past president and member of the Braintree Women’s Club the South Shore Country Club and a member of the Red Hat Society Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend the visiting hours Monday 4 – 8 PM in the Keohane Funeral Home A Celebration of Life service will be held in the funeral home Tuesday morning prior to the Funeral Mass in St In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Mabel may be made to Special Olympics of MA Satellite images of the past days showed evidence of light volcanic degassing The Vanuatu Meteorology and Geohazards Department continues to closely monitor this volcano activity More information will be provided as soon as necessary
