This paper summarises research on freshwater reservoir effects (FRE) in the Baikal region
and their impact on the radiocarbon dating of human remains. Varying relationships are …

This paper summarizes the results of recent gas-hydrate studies in Lake Baikal, the only
fresh-water lake in the world containing gas hydrates in its sedimentary infill. We provide a …

Echo sounders served to locate a large number of shallow-and deepwater gas seeps at the
bottom of all three basins of Lake Baikal during the years 2005 to 2008. A substantial …

Macro-and meiofaunal communities were examined at four geomorphologically distinct sites
with different gas-and oil-bearing fluid characteristics in the northern, central and southern …

The review summarizes the results of recent studies of microbial communities of the Lake
Baikal sediments obtained using diverse techniques. In the sediments of the areas of stable …

Detailed lithological, biogeochemical and molecular biological analyses of core sediments
collected in 2002–2006 from the vicinity of the Malenky mud volcano, Lake Baikal, reveal …

We analyzed oils, gases, and bitumens of bottom sediments from natural shows on the
southeastern shore of Lake Baikal, in the mouth of the Stvolovaya River near Capes Tolstyi …

Diversity and abundance of bacterial communities were investigated in methane hydrate-
and oil-bearing sediments with different composition of pore waters at 6 sites in Lake Baikal …

The distribution and origin of shallow gas seeps in the vicinity of the Posolsky Bank in Lake
Baikal were studied based on the integration of detailed seismic, multibeam, and hydro …

Methane bubble fluxes in gas flares from bottom sediments in Lake Baikal were estimated
for the first time using hydroacoustic methods. Earlier work has demonstrated the occurrence …
