	abstract = {In April 2015, pressure recorders, seismometers, and hydrophones attached to the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Cabled Array on Axial Seamount detected, in real time, a volcanic eruption predominantly located along the north rift zone (NRZ). Real-time detection enabled a rapid response cruise to augment OOI data with ship-based physical, chemical, and biological sampling of the eruption and the new lava flows. The combined data set demonstrates the synergistic value of real-time monitoring combined with rapid response efforts that sample beyond the boundaries of a fixed cabled array. These combined data show that the 2015 eruption gave rise to chemically and microbiologically variable hydrothermal plumes over new NRZ lava flows, reflecting chemical and biological linkages between the subsurface lithosphere and the oceanic hydrosphere. The warmest and least diluted plume near the new lava flows was 0.119{\textdegree}C above background seawater and hosted thermophilic and hyperthermophilic taxa that are typically identified in hydrothermal fluids emanating from the warm subsurface. Cooler and more diluted hydrothermal plumes farther from a hydrothermal fluid source were 0.072{\textdegree}{\textendash}0.078{\textdegree}C above background seawater and hosted mesophilic and psychrophilic taxa that are typically identified in neutrally buoyant plumes at persistent hydrothermal venting sites. Potentially chemosynthetic microbial lineages, including Epsilonproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, and Methanococcales, were positively correlated with elevated temperature anomalies. These data suggest that hydrothermal fluid flow through new lava flows on the NRZ supported diverse microbial communities for several months following the 2015 eruption and that subsurface heterogeneity contributed to the structure of unique hydrothermal-plume-hosted microbial communities.},

	abstract = {Axial Seamount is the best monitored submarine volcano in the world, providing an exceptional window into the dynamic interactions between magma storage, transport, and eruption processes in a mid-ocean ridge setting. An eruption in April 2015 produced the largest volume of erupted lava since monitoring and mapping began in the mid-1980s after the shortest repose time, due to a recent increase in magma supply. The higher rate of magma replenishment since 2011 resulted in the eruption of the most mafic lava in the last 500{\textendash}600 years. Eruptive fissures at the volcano summit produced pyroclastic ash that was deposited over an area of at least 8 km2. A systematic spatial distribution of compositions is consistent with a single dike tapping different parts of a thermally and chemically zoned magma reservoir that can be directly related to previous multichannel seismic-imaging results.},
