Levant jet system—effect of post LGM seafloor currents on Nile sediment transport in the eastern Mediterranean

U Schattner, M Gurevich, M Kanari, M Lazar - Sedimentary Geology, 2015 - Elsevier
Sedimentary development of a continental margin is directly related to seafloor current
dynamics. Yet the linkage between the processes remains vague due to the different time …

Hierarchy of source-to-sink systems—Example from the Nile distribution across the eastern Mediterranean

U Schattner, M Lazar - Sedimentary geology, 2016 - Elsevier
A standard source-to-sink approach examines sediment transport along an imaginary axis
(regarded here as primary) extending between land, the continental margin and a nearby …

Evidence for microbial iron reduction in the methanic sediments of the oligotrophic southeastern Mediterranean continental shelf

H Vigderovich, L Liang, B Herut, F Wang… - …, 2019 - bg.copernicus.org
Dissimilatory iron reduction is probably one of the oldest types of metabolisms that still
participates in important biogeochemical cycles, such as those of carbon and sulfur. It is one …

Modelling the Influence of Erosive Fluidization on the Morphology of Fluid Flow and Escape Structures

S Gupta, A Micallef - Mathematical Geosciences, 2023 - Springer
Focused fluid flow through sub-seafloor pipes and chimneys, and their seafloor
manifestations as pockmarks, are ubiquitous. However, the dynamics of flow localization …

through a complicated interplay between reductive dissolution and authigenic precipitation …

Coincidence or not? Interconnected gas/fluid migration and ocean–atmosphere oscillations in the Levant Basin

M Lazar, G Lang, U Schattner - Geo-Marine Letters, 2016 - Springer
A growing number of studies on shallow marine gas/fluid systems from across the globe
