Permanent carbon dioxide storage in deep-sea sediments.
Stabilizing the concentration of atmospheric CO(2) may require storing enormous quantities of captured anthropogenic CO(2) in near-permanent geologic reservoirs. Because of the subsurface temperature profile of terrestrial storage sites, CO(2) stored in these reservoirs is buoyant. As a result, a portion of the injected CO(2) can escape if the reservoir is not appropriately sealed. We show that...
متن کاملAnaerobic methane oxidation in Black Sea sediments
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) and sulfate reduction (SRR) were investigated in sediments of the western Black Sea, where methane transport is controlled by diffusion. To understand the regulation and dynamics of methane production and oxidation in the Black Sea, rates of methanogenesis, AOM, and SRR were determined using ra-5 diotracers in combination with pore water chemistry and stable...
متن کاملMicroplastic pollution in deep-sea sediments.
Microplastics are small plastic particles (<1 mm) originating from the degradation of larger plastic debris. These microplastics have been accumulating in the marine environment for decades and have been detected throughout the water column and in sublittoral and beach sediments worldwide. However, up to now, it has never been established whether microplastic presence in sediments is limited to...
متن کاملAspects of carbon isotope biogeochemistry of late Quaternary sediments from the Marmara Sea and Black Sea
The Marmara Sea is situated between the world’s largest permanently anoxic basin, the Black Sea, and an enclosed marginal sea, the Aegean Sea, which experienced quasi-periodic sapropel deposition since Miocene time. It is connected to the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea through the Straits of Bosphorus and Dardanelles, respectively. Sapropel M1, which contains from 1 to 2% total organic carbon, wa...
متن کاملMesoscale eddies transport deep-sea sediments
Mesoscale eddies, which contribute to long-distance water mass transport and biogeochemical budget in the upper ocean, have recently been taken into assessment of the deep-sea hydrodynamic variability. However, how such eddies influence sediment movement in the deepwater environment has not been explored. Here for the first time we observed deep-sea sediment transport processes driven by mesosc...
