The majority of life on Earth—notably, microbial life—occurs in places that do not receive
sunlight, with the habitats of the oceans being the largest of these reservoirs. Sunlight …

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 …

Abstract The Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a global warming event
of 5–6° C around 56 million years ago caused by input of carbon into the ocean and …

There is growing concern about the transfer of methane originating from water bodies to the
atmosphere. Methane from sediments can reach the atmosphere directly via bubbles or …

The rates of subsea permafrost degradation and occurrence of gas-migration pathways are
key factors controlling the East Siberian Arctic Shelf (ESAS) methane (CH4) emissions, yet …

More than 250 plumes of gas bubbles have been discovered emanating from the seabed of
the West Spitsbergen continental margin, in a depth range of 150–400 m, at and above the …

Large quantities of methane are stored in hydrates and permafrost within shallow marine
sediments in the Arctic Ocean. These reservoirs are highly sensitive to climate warming, but …

Submarine landslides are ubiquitous along Mediterranean continental margins. With the aim
of understanding mass‐wasting processes and related hazard at the scale of a large marine …

A synthesis of backscatter imagery coupled with a large 3D seismic dataset in the Lower
Congo Basin (LCB) reveals a patchy distribution of features interpreted to be associated with …

Methane seepage from the upper continental slopes of Western Svalbard has previously
been attributed to gas hydrate dissociation induced by anthropogenic warming of ambient …
