The Murono mud volcano, studied by us (Figure 1), is no exception; a local GPS survey detected a vertical movement of 400 mm caused by the Niigataken Chuetsu-oki Earthquake in 2007 (Figure 1, M = 6.8) (Onishi et al 2009).…”

We observed vertical movements of the Murono mud volcano, Niigata, Japan, caused by the Naganoken Kamishiro Fault Earthquake (M = 6.7) on 22 November 2014. Precise levelling around the mud volcano was carried out on 27 November 2014, and the obtained elevation was compared with the data obtained for 11 November 2014. It was found that an elliptical uplift area, about 46 mm in magnitude and an order of magnitude smaller than that of the ones formed due to the past movements caused by the earthquakes in the same area, had been formed. It was considered that the structures of the shallow subsurface as well as the distance between the mud volcano and epicentre might play an important role in understanding the magnitude of vertical movements and distribution patterns.

“…However, fluids rising through deep-rooted feeding channels may be also stored at intermediate to shallow-depth mud chambers and be remobilized via sub-surface interconnected plumbing systems (Deville et al, 2003(Deville et al, , 2010Praeg et al, 2003Praeg et al, , 2009Mazzini et al, 2009). …”

Sedimentary sources of the mud-breccia and mud volcanic activity in the Western Alboran Basin

et al. 2013

During the TTR-17 Leg 1 cruise in the West Alboran Basin, gravity cores were acquired from three mud volcanoes (MVs): Dhaka, Carmen and the recently discovered Maya. This paper presents micropaleontological and radiocarbon dating results from the three mud volcanoes, using cores containing mud breccias overlain by and interbedded with hemipelagic sediments. At Dhaka MV, the mud-breccia matrix contains very rare Holocene planktonic foraminifera associated with abundant reworked specimens of mixed Late Cretaceous to Mio-Pliocene age. At Carmen MV, the reworked assemblage is dominated by Miocene to Pliocene foraminifera occurring together with rare Late Cretaceous species while at Maya MV the mud-breccia matrix is characterized by the dominance of Santonian-Maastrichtian forms, with subordinate Tertiary species. Shallow-water benthic foraminifera such as Ammonia spp. and Elphidium spp. are generally rare and randomly distributed, but present at all studied sites. Based on these results, we suggest that the main sediment source of the mud-breccia extruded at Dhaka, Carmen and Maya MVs is possibly the lowermost overpressured olistostromic Unit VI (Aquitanian?-Burdigalian). Differences in the micropaleontological composition of the mud-breccia matrix at different sites are most likely due to differences in the main source layer and in the plumbing systems underneath the MVs. Radiocarbon dating of hemipelagic sediments associated to the mud-breccia allowed to define the age of the latest extrusion activities (>0.27 ka to > 15.6 ka BP), which seem to be episodic, short-lived and recurrent over thousands of years.

“…Moreover, concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide measured over the closed bituminous coal mines in the Wałbrzych mining district (SW Poland) were 5 ppm and 0.05 vol.%, respectively , and methane concentration measured in the atmospheric air sampled immediately over the mud volcano from Azerbeijan was 99.65 vol.%.

“…The results of studies run worldwide indicate that gas emissions from such sources strongly contribute to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, among which methane and carbon dioxide play crucial roles [Mazzini et al, 2009;Hong et al, 2009].…”
