Mechanisms related to sub‐seabed fluid flow processes are complex and inadequately understood. Petrophysical properties, availability of gases, topography, stress directions, and various geological parameters determine the location and intensity of ...

Characterization of the organic matter in pockmark areas of the Southwestern Atlantic upper slope
Pockmarks are circular or elliptical structures formed at the seabed by the expulsion of gas from the subsurface. They are widely distributed along the continental margin off southeastern Brazil and can be over a kilometer wide and 100 meters deep ...

Geomorphometric characterization of pockmarks by using a GIS-based semi-automated toolbox [PDF]
Pockmarks are seabed depressions developed by fluid flow processes that can be found in vast numbers in many marine and lacustrine environments. Manual mapping of these features based on geophysical data is, however, extremely time-consuming and ...

Ecology of a North Sea pockmark with an active methane seep [PDF]
: At a large North Sea pockmark, with active methane seeps, surface sediments were found to have higher insoluble sulphide concentrations than sedlments from the surrounding area.

Distribution and classification of pockmarks on the seabed around western Scotland
Pockmarks are seabed depressions that represent primary evidence of rapid biogenic/thermogenic gas build up and fluid release from seabed sediments to the water column.

Pockmarks in the inner Oslofjord, Norway [PDF]
Multibeam bathymetric surveys of the Inner Oslofjord, Norway have revealed a high density of pockmarks in the 179-km2 inner fjord area, which contains over 500 pockmarks of varying size, typically 20–50 m in diameter and 2–10 m deep. These pockmarks have been investigated with a variety of techniques, including acoustic subbottom profiling ...

The Gela Basin pockmark field in the strait of Sicily (Mediterranean Sea): chemosymbiotic faunal and carbonate signatures of postglacial to modern cold seepage [PDF]
The geo-biological exploration of a pockmark field located at ca. 800 m below sea level in the Gela basin (Strait of Sicily, Central Mediterranean) provided a relatively diverse chemosymbiotic community and methane-imprinted carbonates.
