Abstract The upwelling of fluids, subject to overpressure, along with discontinuities in the subsoil, causes formation geological structures known as mud volcanoes. These structures, very widespread world and some cases located near inhabited centers, can represent a considerable risk factor for population, they give rise paroxysmal eruptions, even violent. assessment characteristics structure ...

Mass-transport complexes (MTCs) form a significant component of the stratigraphic record in ancient and modern deep-water basins worldwide. One such basin, the deep-marine margin of eastern offshore Trinidad, situated along the obliquely converging boundary of the Caribbean and South American plates and proximal to the mouth of the Orinoco River, is characterized by catastrophic shelfmargin pro...

Purpose. Determination of the potential efficiency alternative method methane production from subaquatic gas hydrate deposits using emissions underwater mud volcanoes considering geological and thermodynamic conditions typical for Black Sea. Methods. Computer modeling processes changing parameters supplying fluid within pipeline was carried out on basis Aspen Hysys program, Ng Robinson model to...

Mud volcanoes are rapidly-evolving geological phenomena characterized by the surface expulsion of sediments and fluids from over-pressurized underlying reservoirs. We investigate Nirano Volcano, Northern Italy, with seismic methods to better understand dynamic evolution system shed light on its subsurface structure. Our study allowed detect characterize three different types high-frequency drum...
