Book excerpt: During the past few decades, deep-sea research benefited greatly from a number of newly developed, highly sophisticated exploration techniques and comprehensive datasets, thanks to the immense industrial interest in deep-sea sediments. The book Deep-Sea Sediments focuses on the sedimentary processes operating within the various modern and ancient deep-sea environments. The individual chapters track the way of sedimentary particles from continental erosion or production in the marine realm, to transport into the deep sea, to final deposition on the sea floor. The sedimentary processes cover several types of sediment gravity flow and contour currents, pelagic settling and hemipelagic advection, planktic and benthic bioproductivity, and volcanoclastic sedimentation. In addition, the relationships between depositional environment and endobenthic organisms as well as early diagenetic processes at and within the deep-sea floor are dealt with. Facies models of the wide range of depositional products hold the key for a process-related interpretation of ancient deposits. Changes in sea-water chemistry, major innovations in organism evolution, and changes in external controls on sedimentation and productivity are discussed in the context of overarching trends in ocean history. Deep-sea sediments are not only of interest because of the numerous interacting processes involved in their formation, but they represent also a nearly inexhaustible archive of long-term climatic changes. Consequently, the book also includes an introduction to the climatic interpretation of the various proxies that reveal global changes during the Mesozoic greenhouse and Neogene icehouse conditions. In order to address the specific interest of the oil and gas industry in deep-water sediments, the investigation techniques that are applied in this context and the methods to predict both the occurrences and the characteristics of hydrocarbon reservoirs are included as well. - Examines the rapidly evolving field of deep-sea sedimentary research - Focuses on sedimentary and diagenetic processes, with theory and case histories - Covers the climate record, hydrocarbon reservoirs, and other topics of interest - Features a multimedia component with colour versions of figures

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second volume of the Updates in Volcanology and presents review style chapters as well as stand alone research works on volcanological problems that could be used as valuable resource for both researchers and graduate research students. The book presents chapters arching over a broad field of volcanology among many are considered to be dynamically developing subject areas such as volcano morphology, volcanic terrain evolution or volcaniclastic-hosted mineral resource analysis. The book also takes the reader to areas such as the Russian Far East or sedimentary basins in China which are very remote and generally less known for the global community. This book demonstrates the dynamic evolution of volcanology in the past decades.

Download or read book Mud Volcanoes of the Black Sea Region and their Environmental Significance written by Evgeny Shnyukov and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exceptionally well-illustrated book at a high scientific level describes mud volcanism as a complex, multidimensional phenomenon requiring multidisciplinary study. Mud volcanoes can be used as “cheap windows” to search for gas-hydrates and other mineral resources in the Black Sea region. Nothing similar has been published before, and as one of its unique features the book includes a vast amount of new data unavailable so far to the western reader. The book includes new data on driving forces, mechanisms, origin, geological and geomorphological features of mud volcanoes as well as new data on composition of solid, gaseous, and liquid components of erupted material. It covers a wide geographic region, and its subjects range from geological to environmental to industrial applications.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The areas visited during the 10th Training-through-Research Programme were the Portuguese Margin, the Gulf of Cadiz, the Lucky Strike area of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the Rockall Trough, the Southern Faeroe margin, and the Varring Plateau (Norwegian margin). The investigations were aimed atstudying such geological processes as neotectonics, fluid migration and escape, sediment processes in canyons and sediment reworking and benthic biology in areas swept by deep-sea bottom currents as well as hydrothermal manifestations on mid-ocean ridges. A seismic and sidescan survey of the Marques de Pombal structure (Portuguese margin) allowed a better understanding of a fault system known here from previous studies such as the ARRIFAN0 and BIGSET projects. The fault pattern has been mapped and acoustic images have helped to evaluate the status of their activity. The Marques de Pombal structure showed little evidence of recent activity and is being covered by sediments. Shallow slides found in the vicinity of the structure may, however, indicate some occasional activity disturbing the overlying sedimentary cover. The Pereira de Sousa fault was found to be much more active. Six new mud volcanoes were discovered and studied in the Gulf of Cadiz. Most of them were proved to be recently active. The mud volcanism of the Gulf of Cadiz can be considered as two characteristic regions with different mud breccia lithological composition. Several types of lava sulphite ores sampled during the Azores campaign of Leg 2 allowed a better understanding of volcanic evolution and associated processes of this area. A short 3.5 kHz survey across the Porcupine Seabight mouth, combined with existing swath bathymetry data and a few cores from the area, confirmed the findings of the TTR-7 cruise that the Gollum channel system is currently inactive. The study of a canyon on the northeastern Rockall Trough margin showed that the system is inactive at the present time and the last pulse of active downslope sediment transport took place in immediate pre-Holocene time. Debris flows were found mostly on the flanks of the canyon while the axial zone showed numerous signs of erosion. Sand was not particularly common in the studied area. It is suggested that significant amounts of sand are trapped in the canyon head, possibly due to slumps blocking the narrower waist area. Abundant traces of seabed erosion found immediately beyond the canyon mouth indicate that this area is a bypass zone and sand deposition may occur further into the canyon mouth indicate that this area is a bypass zone and sand deposition may occur further into the basin plain. An extensive collection of TV-guided grab samples and seafloor video records, obtained from sites in the Northern Rockall Trough, Wyville-Thomson Ridge and Southern Faeroe Plateau, provided GOOd insight on the distribution of bottom fauna, including deep-water corals, and of coarse glaciagenie debris. New data on a BSR distribution pattern were obtained on the southeastern part of the Verring Plateau and they suggest that the formation of the Storegga Slide was not directly related to the dissolution of gas hydrates. The investigation also provided a new insight into gas hydrate formation and distribution in the area.

This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mediterranean region and Asia provide a natural laboratory to investigate the driving forces of continental tectonics in an ongoing collisional orogen and the crustal and mantle response to various modes of deformation associated with plate boundary processes. The multidisciplinary research efforts in this region over the last fifteen years have produced a wealth of new data to better understand the interplay and feedback mechanisms between crustal and mantle processes and the dynamic landscape evolution in a complexly deforming area. A number of discrete collisional events between the Gondwana-derived continental fragments (i.e., Adria, Pelagonia, Arabia, India) and Eurasia controlled the geodynamics of the Mediterranean region and Asia during the late Mesozoic and Cenozoic. This book is a collection of research papers, presenting new data, interpretations, and syntheses on various aspects of the collision-induced tectonic, magmatic, metamorphic, and geomorphic processes that have affected the evolution of this orogenic belt. It should help us better understand the mode and nature of tectonic and magmatic processes and crustal evolution in active collision zones, and the distribution and causes of seismic and volcanic events and their impact on landscape evolution."--Publisher's website.
