Gravity Data Allow to Image the Shallow‐Medium Subsurface Below Mud Volcanoes
The debate about the conceptual model of mud volcanoes functioning is still alive in the literature. A large part of the literature focuses on the characterization of the deep reservoir where expelled fluids are expected to originate.

Mud volcanoes are frequently encountered geo-structures at active and passive continental margins. In contrast to magmatic volcanoes, mud volcanoes are marine or terrestrial, topographic elevation built from vertically rising fluidized mud or mud breccia.

Seabed gas emissions and submarine landslides off SW Taiwan
Methane emissions out of the seabed could seriously affect Earthâs climate and are usually associated with the dissociation of gas hydrates stored in marine sediments on the continental margins.

Mud volcano dynamics in Azerbaijan: the overlooked role of creeping mud flows in landscape evolution [PDF]
Azerbaijan hosts the world's highest concentration of mud volcanoes (MVs) on Earth, including some of the largest edifices that produce kilometre-scale mud breccia flows.

Mud volcanoes are topographic features through which over-pressurized sediments are intruded upward and erupted, transporting fluids and sediments from the deep subsurface to the surface/seafloor. To understand material and biogeochemical cycling through
