The surface sediments in the Black Sea are underlain by extensive deposits of iron (Fe)-
oxide-rich lake sediments that were deposited prior to the inflow of marine Mediterranean …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), a central process in the carbon cycle of anoxic
environments, moderates the release of methane from soils and sediments to water bodies …

The microbial anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), a key biogeochemical process that
consumes substantial amounts of methane produced in seafloor sediments, can lead to the …

The sulfate–methane transition (SMT) zone is a diagenetic transition within anoxic marine
sediments created by the metabolic activity of a consortium of sulfate-reducing bacteria and …

Abstract Gypsum (CaSO 4· 2H 2 O) of non-evaporitic origins has been observed in marine
sedimentary environments over the past decade. Our understanding of related diagenetic …

Abstract Iron (Fe), sulfur (S), and molybdenum (Mo) geochemistry in marine sediments
impacted by hydrothermal plumes and/or cold seeps is complex and has not been …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a common biochemical process in the ocean and
it plays an important role in global climate change, elemental circulation, and atmospheric …

Three decades after the discovery of cold seep systems, various sites of hydrocarbon
seepage have been found in the South China Sea (SCS). Over the past decade, these sites …

Isotope signatures of sulfur compounds are key tools for studying sulfur cycling in the
modern environment and throughout earth's history. However, for meaningful interpretations …

Recent developments in the quantitative modeling of methane dynamics and anaerobic
oxidation of methane (AOM) in marine sediments are critically reviewed. The first part of the …
