Abstract Extensive beds of the deep-sea mussel Bathymodiolus mauritanicus (currently also known as Gigantidas ) linked to active cold seeps related fissure-like activity on Al Gacel mud volcano, Gulf Cádiz, were filmed and sampled for first time during oceanographic expedition SUBVENT-2 aboard R/V Sarmiento de Gamboa. volcano is one up 80 fluid venting submarine structures (mud volcanoes volcan...

Abstract Self‐ignition during the explosive eruption of mud volcanoes can create flames that in some cases reach heights exceed hundreds meters. To study controls on electrical discharge natural mud, we performed laboratory experiments using a shock‐tube apparatus to simulate eruptions mud. We vary water content and proportions fine particles. measure electric within Faraday cage use high‐speed...

reply: It is true that certain bacteria are able to bridge the gap between concentration fronts of oxygen/nitrate and sulfide. This is particularly true for the Thioploca rather than for Beggiatoa, and is mostly found in environments characterized with sharp gradients of oxygen and sulfide close to the sediment surface. During investigations at the Captain Arutyunov mud volcano a comprehensive ...

Mud volcanoes and other fluid seepage pathways usually transport sufficient gas for the formation of reservoirs are beneficial to accumulation hydrate. On hand, thermal effects mud can constrain occurrence hydrates. Current field measurements indicate that anomalies impact distribution hydrates associated with volcanoes. However, due lack quantitative analysis volcano flow evolution, it is diff...
