This work further contributes to improved understanding of sulfur and oxygen isotope systematics in shallow-sea hydrothermal systems and associated interactions with the ocean, with important consequences for refining global biogeochemical budgets [59],[60] and for providing modern analogs for evolving chemistry of the ancient ocean [61],[61].
(An actual budget would, of course, have to be refined to factor in any local taxes and tax credits).
Our own budget estimates are reasonable, but even they cannot be refined with any precision at this stage".
