[图书][B] Seabed fluid flow: the impact on geology, biology and the marine environment

A Judd, M Hovland - 2009 - books.google.com
Seabed fluid flow involves the flow of gases and liquids through the seabed. Such fluids
have been found to leak through the seabed into the marine environment in seas and …

Ecology of cold seep sediments: interactions of fauna with flow, chemistry and microbes

LA Levin - Oceanography and marine biology, 2005 - taylorfrancis.com
Cold seeps occur in geologically active and passive continental margins, where pore waters
enriched in methane are forced upward through the sediments by pressure gradients. The …

Zonation of deep biota on continental margins

RS Carney - Oceanography and marine biology, 2005 - taylorfrancis.com
Pioneering deep-sea surveys established that the fauna of the continental margins is zoned
in the sense that individual species and assemblages occupy restricted depth bands. It has …

Permeability evolution during the formation of gas hydrates in marine sediments

J Nimblett, C Ruppel - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Fluxes of gas, energy, and fluid (water with dissolved gas) are known to control the
distribution of gas hydrate and free gas in gas hydrate reservoirs, but theoretical studies …
