Modeling cryogenic mud volcanism on Pluto

Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2020
Abstract Subsurface ice cryofluids and ice interactions with ammonia for cryovolcanic materials give the potential ingredients for the formation of mud volcanoes on Pluto. In order to constrain the possible morphology from images acquired by the New Horizons spacecraft, we have modeled the formation of mud volcanoes, isostatic layers of ice overlain ...

Shallow-rooted mud volcanism in Lake Baikal

Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2019
Abstract Lake Baikal is the only freshwater basin containing sediments with gas hydrate accumulations, some of which are associated with mud volcano activity. Twenty-two mud volcanoes have already been identified in different areas of Lake Baikal, but the formation process and source depth remained unknown due to a lack of conclusive evidences.

Modelling of possible mud volcanism on Titan

Icarus, 2006
Possible sedimentary basins on Titan are potential sites for the formation of mud volcanoes. In order to constrain the appearance of such features in remotely sensed imagery being acquired by the Cassini spacecraft, we have modelled the formation of mud volcanoes on Titan for a series of plausible mud compositions, climatic conditions and geological ...

Geochemical Patterns of Mud Volcanic Waters: Reviewed Worldwide Data

Geochemistry International, 2021
This paper is the world’s first to generalize and analyze worldwide data on the chemical composition of waters from 175 onshore mud volcanoes. Empirical probability density functions are obtained for the dominant anions and cations, whose average concentrations (Clarke values) were also estimated.

Serpentinite Mud Volcanism: Observations, Processes, and Implications

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2012
Large serpentinite mud volcanoes form on the overriding plate of the Mariana subduction zone. Fluids from the descending plate hydrate (serpentinize) the forearc mantle and enable serpentinite muds to rise along faults to the seafloor. The seamounts are direct windows into subduction processes at depths far too deep to be accessed by any known ...

Active mud volcanism observed with Landsat 7 ETM+

Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2004
Abstract Mud volcanoes are relatively small spatter cones that erupt water-laden mud and gases, and occur throughout the world. For many mud volcanoes, the eruption of warm mud (10–40°C) can be detected with high-resolution thermal satellite imagery.

New evidence of extensive active mud volcanism in the Anaximander mountains (Eastern Mediterranean): The “ATHINA” mud volcano

Environmental Geology, 2004
A 3000 km2 multibeam survey was carried out on the eastern Anaximander Mountains (Mts), (Eastern Mediterranean). The objective was to obtain detailed bathymetry of known mud volcanoes and identify new sites of active mud volcanism in the area. N-NW of the Amsterdam Mud-Volcano (MV) several mounds and cone-like morphological irregularities with a height

Strontium Isotope Composition of Mud Volcanic Waters in Azerbaijan

Lithology and Mineral Resources, 2019
The Sr isotope composition was studied in waters from 22 mud volcanoes in Azerbaijan, where the O and H isotope compositions, as well as concentrations of macro- and microelements, were determined earlier in (Lavrushin et al., 2015). Values of the 87Sr/86Sr ratio in the Azerbaijanian mud volcanoes range from 0.7067 to 0.7083.

Mud Volcanoes, Their Distribution Regularities and Genesis: Communication 1. Mud Volcanic Provinces and Morphology of Mud Volcanoes

Lithology and Mineral Resources, 2002
The article discusses regularities in the distribution of mud volcanoes and characterizes most important mud volcanic provinces of the world. A new morphogenetic classification of mud volcanoes substantiated by results of their study in the Crimean–Caucasian and West Turkmenian regions is proposed.

Significance of serpentine mud volcanism in convergent margins

2000
Serpentinites are distinctive components of on-land exposures of former convergent-margin terranes throughout the world, commonly mingled with high-pressure, low-temperature blueschist-facies metamorphic rocks in complexmelange assemblages that have long perplexed geologists.
