Characteristics of cold seeps at different geologic settings are the subject of this review
primarily based on results of the Research Consortium SFB 574. Criteria are drawn from …

… Hydrate Ridge stands 1.6 km above the surrounding basins and extends 25 km in N–S
direction and 15 km E–W. Its northern summit lies at 600 m of water depth and encompasses an …

Abstract Comparison of rates of accumulation of organic carbon in surface marine sediments
from the central North Pacific, the continental margins off northwest Africa, northwest and …

Organic detritus passing from the sea surface through the water column to the sea floor
controls nutrient regeneration, fuels benthic life and affects burial of organic carbon in the …

We used sediment traps to define the particulate fluxes of barium and organic carbon and
investigate the use of barium as a proxy for ocean fertility. Strong correlations between C org …

Opal phytoliths derived from epidermal cells of grass leaves have been identified in
atmospheric dust, soils, paleosols, Pleistocene loess, and deep‐sea sediments. By comparing …

Mixed methane–sulfide hydrates and carbonates are exposed as a pavement at the seafloor
along the crest of one of the accretionary ridges of the Cascadia convergent margin. Vent …

Authigenic magnesian calcite, dolomite, and aragonite are precipitated in the uppermost
terrigenous sediments of the Washington/Oregon accretionary prism by subduction-induced …

Authigenic carbonates are intercalated with massive gas hydrates in sediments of the
Cascadia margin. The deposits were recovered from the uppermost 50 cm of sediments on the …

… Another, so far unreported discovery ofwhat appear to be species ofthe mollusk Calyptogena
was made along the Peru continental margin in April 1985 by Kuhm, Suess, and Thomburg…
