Mud volcanism, or sedimentary volcanism, represents one of the most intriguing phenomena
of the Earth's crust, with important implications in energy resource exploration, seismicity …

Characteristics of cold seeps at different geologic settings are the subject of this review
primarily based on results of the Research Consortium SFB 574. Criteria are drawn from …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

The mineral barite (BaSO4) can precipitate in a variety of oceanic settings: in the water
column, on the sea floor and within marine sediments. The geological setting where barite …

Large organic food falls to the deep sea–such as whale carcasses and wood logs–are
known to serve as step** stones for the dispersal of highly adapted chemosynthetic …

An integrated study involving petrographical, mineralogical and geochemical investigations
proposes the origin of the Bakchar ironstone deposit by upward migration of a mixture of Fe …

On continental margins, oxidation of methane-rich fluids from the sediment often leads to
formation of authigenic carbonate pavements on the seafloor. The biogeochemical …

The circulation of methane-rich fluids at cold seeps often leads to precipitation of authigenic
carbonates mediated by microbial activity, which can be used as archives of fluid seepage …

Different types of seep carbonates were recovered from the 'Kouilou pockmarks' on the
Congo deep-sea fan in approximately 3100m water depth. The carbonate aggregates are …

Submarine hydrocarbon seeps are geologically driven" hotspots" of increased biological
activity on the seabed. As part of the HERMES project, several sites of natural hydrocarbon …
