Low-Frequency Sound Propagation in an Underwater Waveguide with a Giant Gassy Pockmark
Bottom formations known as pockmarks basically arise due to extensive gas emission. Active pockmarks are characterized by exceptionally high gas saturation and substantially reduced sound speed.

Study region: Two giant pockmarks in Lake Banyoles (NE Spain) have been surveyed over the last 35 years. The giant pockmark ‘B1’ has maintained an ‘eruptive’ mode with permanent groundwater discharge, whereas, the giant pockmark ‘B2’ has displayed ...

The geochemical characteristics of the bottom sediment in the pockmark area of the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland [PDF]
It is the first time pockmark-like structures have been detected in the south-eastern part of the Gulf of Finland with the help of a side-scan sonar and a profile recorder.

Seismic Anisotropy Within an Active Fluid Flow Structure: Scanner Pockmark, North Sea
Understanding sub-seabed fluid flow mechanisms is important for determining their significance for ocean chemistry and to define fluid pathways above sub-seafloor CO2 storage reservoirs.

Fracture-controlled fluid transport supports microbial methane-oxidizing communities at Vestnesa Ridge [PDF]
We report a rare observation of a mini-fracture in near-surface sediments (30 cm below the seafloor) visualized using a rotational scanning X-ray of a core recovered from the Lomvi pockmark, Vestnesa Ridge, west of Svalbard (1200 m water ...

Structures in Shallow Marine Sediments Associated with Gas and Fluid Migration
Geological structure changes, including deformations and ruptures, developed in shallow marine sediments are well recognized but were not systematically reviewed in previous studies. These structures, generally developed at a depth less than 1000 m below
