Low‐Frequency Ocean Waves Triggered by Tropical Cyclones via Seafloor Distributed Acoustic Sensing
Abstract Propagation of low‐frequency ocean waves, including infragravity (IG) and internal waves, affect ocean dynamics and energy transfer within marine environments. IG waves are long‐period ocean surface waves that can propagate long distances across the ocean and impact the coastlines and deep ocean, while internal waves are buoyancy‐driven ...

Basin‐scale dataset reveals widespread hydrocarbon venting at the seafloor in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Hydrocarbon release at the seafloor is related to the occurrence of the underlying Louann salt and the gas hydrate stability zone. ABSTRACT The release of hydrocarbons, pore water and fluidized sediments impacts seafloor morphology, marine ...

Submarine mud volcanoes (SMVs) are formed by muddy sediments and breccias extruded to the seafloor from a source in the deep subseafloor and are characterized by the discharge of methane and other hydrocarbon gasses and deep-sourced fluids into the ...

Temperature Controls on Carbon‐Sulfur Diagenesis in Deep Hydrothermal Subseafloor Sediments
Abstract Carbon mobilization and sulfur transformation play a significant role in deep carbon and sulfur cycling. However, sulfur biogeochemistry and its coupling with carbon and iron cycling remain poorly constrained in hydrothermal sediments. We investigated the effect of temperature on carbon‐sulfur‐iron diagenesis in subsurface sediments (≤370 m ...

We report an extensive investigation of prokaryotic communities from a methane cold‐seep area in the Western South Atlantic Ocean (Southern Brazil) employing a broad sample set, including three distinct geographic areas (A, C and E) across a depth gradient (up to 18 m below the seafloor) related to the sulfate–methane transition zone (SMTZ).

Dynamics of Iron‐Bound Organic Carbon Across Different Development Stages of Marine Cold Seeps
Abstract Marine cold seeps, where subsurface methane‐rich fluids discharge at seafloors, are “oases of life” that sustain highly active organic carbon (OC) and iron (Fe) cycling along the global continental margins. However, the interactions between Fe and OC and their impacts on the development and long‐term carbon preservation of cold seep ecosystems

IODP Expedition 321T: Cementing Operations at Holes U1301A and U1301B, Eastern Flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge [PDF]
IODP Expedition 301 (Fisher et al., 2005a) was part of a series of expeditions and experiments to quantify hydrogeologic, lithologic, biogeochemical, and microbiological properties, processes, and linkages on the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge ...

Microbial community assembly and evolution in subseafloor sediment [PDF]
Significance Our study shows that deep subseafloor sediments are populated by descendants of rare members of surface sediment microbial communities that become predominant during burial over thousands of years. We provide estimates of mutation rates and strength of purifying selection in a set of taxonomically diverse microbial populations in
