Reports of methane detection in the Martian atmosphere have been intensely debated. The
presence of methane could enhance habitability and may even be a signature of life …

A wide body of literature suggests that geological gas emissions from Earth's degassing are
a major methane (CH4) source to the atmosphere. These emissions are from gas-oil seeps …

Structural systems involving mobile shale represent one of the most difficult challenges for
geoscientists dedicated to exploring the subsurface structure of continental margins. Mobile …

Earthquakes can occasionally trigger the eruption or increase the activity of mud volcanoes
and other fluid seepage systems. One long pending question is how static and dynamic …

The story of methane (CH 4) on Mars continues to grow. A long series of CH 4 detections
(spikes, plumes, seasonal variations) and non-detections in the martian atmosphere suggest …

Mud volcanism is a global phenomenon usually associated with compressional tectonics
that favour extrusion of fluid-and clay mineral-rich sediment both on land and offshore …

Geochemical compositions of light hydrocarbon gases (LHC) derived from hydrocarbon
reservoirs from several parts of the world show a remarkably broad variation. The …

The phenomenon of rocks moving under their own means has always fascinated both
scientists and the nonscientists. Salt is known to extrude and flow as a result of differences in …

Abstract The South Caspian Basin (SCB), located within the Alpine-Himalayan mobile belt,
is known for its intensive modern fluid dynamics, a quantitative and qualitative analysis of …

Diapiric structures (igneous intrusions, shale diaper, and salt diapir) are common geologic
features formed when an intrusive body rises upward into the overlaying layers and …
