Microbial diversity gradients in the geothermal mud volcano underlying the hypersaline Urania Basin [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Mud volcanoes transport deep fluidized sediment and their microbial communities and thus provide a window into the deep biosphere. However, mud volcanoes are commonly sampled at the surface and not probed at greater depths, with the consequence that ...

Mineralosphere Microbiome Leading to Changed Geochemical Properties of Sedimentary Rocks from Aiqigou Mud Volcano, Northwest China [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 The properties of rocks can be greatly affected by seepage hydrocarbons in petroleum-related mud volcanoes. Among them, the color of sedimentary rocks can reflect the changes of sedimentary environment and weathering history.

Mud volcano as a feature of emergence in Caspian Sea
Oceanologia, 2022 An eruption occurred on Dashli Island, 75 km from Baku, on 4th of July 2021, at 21:51 local time. The island is known as the mud volcano and has a history of eruption. We suspected that mud volcano eruption causes emergence on this island.

A constellation of mud volcanoes originated from a buried Arctic mega-slide, Southwestern Barents Sea [PDF]
Scientific ReportsGlobal estimates on the number of submarine mud volcanoes are highly uncertain, as well as their role in the deep-sea biosphere and methane budgets. Here, we report the discovery of ten Arctic mud volcanoes in the Barents Sea (440–480 m depth), where ...
