Evidence of microbial activity from a shallow water whale fall (Voghera, northern Italy) [PDF]
The fossil bones, associated carbonate cements and enclosing concretion of a Miocene mysticete from inner shelf deposits (Monte Vallassa Formation, northern Italy) were analyzed for evidence of microbial activity. Optical and scanning electron microscopy,

Trophic adaptation strategies of deep-Sea fish in cold seep environments
The diversity of marine habitats influences fish trophic niches and adaptation strategies. This study investigated fish trophic niches in cold seep and adjacent areas of the South China Sea in August 2023 using stable isotope techniques.

Episodic methane concentrations at seep sites on the upper slope Opouawe Bank, southern Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand [PDF]
Along many active and some passive margins cold seeps are abundant and play an important role in the mechanisms of methane supply from the subsurface into seawater and atmosphere.

Cold seep carbonates and associated cold-water corals at the Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand: New insights into fluid pathways, growth structures and geochronology [PDF]
The aim of this study is to provide combined new insights into the geochronological framework, isotope geochemical signatures and structural observations of methane related authigenic carbonate settings and associated cold-water corals from offshore New ...

Diversity and Distribution of Methanotrophic Archaea at Cold Seeps [PDF]
ABSTRACT In this study we investigated by using 16S rRNA-based methods the distribution and biomass of archaea in samples from (i) sediments above outcropping methane hydrate at Hydrate Ridge (Cascadia margin off Oregon) and (ii) massive microbial mats enclosing carbonate reefs (Crimea area, Black Sea). The archaeal diversity was

Stable and Clumped Isotope Characterization of Authigenic Carbonates in Methane Cold Seep Environments [PDF]
Cold seep environments are characterized by methane-rich fluid migration and discharge at the seafloor. These environments are also intimately linked to microbial communities, which oxidize methane anaerobically, increase alkalinity and promote ...

Tubular carbonate concretions as hydrocarbon migration pathways? Examples from North Island, New Zealand [PDF]
Cold seep carbonate deposits are associated with the development on the sea floor of distinctive chemosyn¬thetic animal communities and carbonate minerali¬sation as a consequence of microbially mediated anaerobic oxidation of methane.

Acoustic and optical observations of methane gas seeps in the Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
In 2011 and 2012, measurements of acoustic backscatter from natural methane seeps were made in the northern Gulf of Mexico in water depths between 1000-2000 m.
