Abstract: Abstract Marine pockmarks are globally widespread seabed depressions, conventionally thought to be formed by the accumulation and expulsion of microbial and thermogenic gas. However, other putative fluids and processes have been implicated in pockmark formation… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract. We report a rare observation of a mini-fracture in near-surface sediments (30 cm below the seafloor) visualized using a rotational scanning X-ray of a core recovered from the Lomvi pockmark, Vestnesa Ridge, west of Svalbard… read more here.
