Mud volcanism: Processes and implications
Mud volcanoes can be large and long lived geological structures that morphologically resemble magmatic volcanoes. Because of their capricious behaviour and their spectacular morphology and landscapes, mud volcanoes have attracted attention since antiquity. More recently, mud volcanoes have become the focus of extensive studies for natural science research, including geologists and biologists. M...
متن کاملCO2 flux from Javanese mud volcanism
Studying the quantity and origin of CO2 emitted by back-arc mud volcanoes is critical to correctly model fluid-dynamical, thermodynamical, and geochemical processes that drive their activity and to constrain their role in the global geochemical carbon cycle. We measured CO2 fluxes of the Bledug Kuwu mud volcano on the Kendeng Fold and thrust belt in the back arc of Central Java, Indonesia, usin...
متن کاملSpatial distribution and budget for submarine groundwater discharge in Eckernförde Bay (Western Baltic Sea)
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) from subseafloor aquifers, through muddy sediments, was studied in Eckernförde Bay (western Baltic Sea). The fluid discharge was clearly traced by 222Rn enrichment in the water column and by the chloride profiles in pore water. At several sites, a considerable decrease in chloride, to levels less than 10% of bottom-water concentrations, was observed within ...
متن کاملNew samplers for collection of sea mud.
To obtain specimens from marine environment, water sampling devices such as Nansen's sampler and sediment sampling device such as a gravity-core sampler are used for geological or ecological examinations in oceanic or aquatic fields. Those samplers are able tocollect a reasonable amount of specimens for the above studies. These devices are all considerably heavy and operated by means of a rope ...
متن کاملMud volcanism on the Mediterranean Ridge: Initial results of Ocean Drilling Program Leg 160
Drilling during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 160 (April–May, 1995) revealed important new evidence concerning the internal composition, depositional processes, and age of two mud volcanoes within the Mediterranean Ridge accretionary complex. Holes were drilled at ca. 2000 m water depth on the crest areas, across the flanks of the mud volcanoes, and onto adjacent deep-sea sediments. The main depos...
