Mud Volcanoes of Trinidad as Astrobiological Analogs for Martian Environments [PDF]
Life, 2014 Eleven onshore mud volcanoes in the southern region of Trinidad have been studied as analog habitats for possible microbial life on Mars. The profiles of the 11 mud volcanoes are presented in terms of their physical, chemical, mineralogical, and soil ...

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 ...

Mud volcanoes and the presence of PAHs. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Abstract A mud volcano (MV) is a naturally hydrocarbon-spiked environment, as indicated by the presence of various quantities of PAHs and aromatic isotopic shifts in its sediments. Recurrent expulsion of various hydrocarbons consolidates the growth of hydrocarbonoclastic bacterial communities in the areas around ...

THE ORIGIN OF MUD VOLCANOES [PDF]
Геологія і корисні копалини Світового океану, 2019 The article shows that the immersion of clay strata in the region of high temperatures and pressures creates two fluid dynamic zones. In the upper zone, clay porosity decreases, and sedimentation and diagenetic waters are released; these elision ...

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 ...

Bubble ascent and rupture in mud volcanoes. [PDF]
R Soc Open SciLarge gas bubbles can reach the surface of pools of mud and lava where they burst, often through the formation and expansion of circular holes. Bursting bubbles release volatiles and generate spatter, and hence play a key role in volcanic degassing and volcanic edifice construction.

Variations in microbial community compositions and processes imposed under contrast geochemical contexts in Sicilian mud volcanoes, Italy [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyTerrestrial mud volcanoes represent surface features of channels for subsurface methane transport and, therefore, constitute an important source of methane emission from natural environments.

Origin of Short-Chain Organic Acids in Serpentinite Mud Volcanoes of the Mariana Convergent Margin [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Serpentinitic systems are potential habitats for microbial life due to frequently high concentrations of microbial energy substrates, such as hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), and short-chain organic acids (SCOAs).
