Red plumes burst out from the tops of these chemosynthetic tubeworms, capturing hydrogen sulfide and oxygen from the surrounding water to feed their bacterial endosymbionts. The tubeworm tubes provide a habitat for several benthic animals, including the pale pink branching octocorals seen here

Schematic Diagram of Midsection Measurement

Diagram depicting stationing in midsection measurement where velocity measurements are acquired. Each station width is multiplied by the station depth and measured velocity to compute the discharge in each section. Section discharges are tabulated to compute a total discharge for the cross section.

Southern Cascadia topography and bathymetry

Topography and bathymetry of southern Cascadia, which includes southern Oregon and northern California (seafloor depths between 200 and 3000 m are shown in the spectrum color scale from red (shallower) to purple (deeper). The land and continental shelf are shown in grayscale slope shading where darker colors represent steeper slopes.
