Formation Mechanism of Mud Volcanoes/Mud Diapirs Based on Physical Simulation
Geofluids, 2021 The formation of mud volcanoes/mud diapirs is directly related to oil and gas accumulation and gas-hydrate mineralization. Their eruptive activities easily cause engineering accidents and may increase the greenhouse effect by the eruption of methane gas.

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 ...

Mud volcanoes and methane seeps in Romania: main features and gas flux
Annals of Geophysics, 2007 Romania is one of the European countries with the most vigorous natural seepage of methane, uprising from pressurised natural gas and petroleum reservoirs through deep faults. The largest seepage zone is represented by large mud volcanoes, with

Metagenomic insights into microbial communities of terrestrial mud volcanos: functional diversity of subsurface archaea and bacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyTerrestrial mud volcanoes are surface geological features where fluidized sediments and gasses from the subsurface are discharged along a fracture network providing a window into the deep biosphere.

Comprehensive global inventory of submarine mud volcanoes [PDF]
Scientific DataSystematic morphometric studies of submarine potential geohazard elements such as mud volcanism are still limited in the scientific literature. To fill this gap and contribute to the global geohazard databases, we present a comprehensive inventory of ...
