Sedimentary Mercury Enrichments as a Tracer of Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Influence of cosmic factors on mud volcanic activity of the Earth [PDF]
In this work, the influence of various cosmic factors (gravitational influence of the Moon and the Sun, solar activity, the Earth’s rotation) on mud volcanic activity was analyzed for the first time. The analysis was carried out mainly on the example of

Mud-volcanic deposits of methane gas hydrates in the Black Sea [PDF]
This paper discusses the formation of a special mud-volcanic type of gas hydrate accumulation in the deep-water part of the Black Sea. The main conclusions are based on the results of geological and geophysical studies of mud volcanoes carried out in the

Influence of chemosynthetic ecosystems on nematode community structure and biomass in the deep eastern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Mud volcanoes are a~special type of cold seeps where life is based on chemoautotrophic processes. They are considered to be extreme environments and are characterized by unique megafaunal and macrofaunal communities.
