Changing redox conditions at cold seeps as revealed by authigenic carbonates from Alaminos Canyon, northern Gulf of Mexico
Anaerobic oxidation of methane in anoxic sediments at cold seeps often leads to formation
of authigenic carbonates close to the seafloor along continental margins. Recent work …

Past methane release events and environmental conditions at the upper continental slope of the South China Sea: constraints by seep carbonates
Authigenic carbonates and seep biota are archives of seepage history and record paleo-
environmental conditions at seep sites. We obtained the timing of past methane release …
