Geophysical Evidence of Gas Hydrates Associated with Widespread Gas Venting on the Central Nile Deep-Sea Fan, Offshore Egypt

Praeg, Daniel Migeon, S. Mascle, J.

Deep-sea fans are favoured settings for the formation of gas hydrates, due to high sedimentation rates and organic matter content that promote the upwelling of methane-rich fluids. Gas hydrates have not been sampled on the Nile fan, but geophysical evidence of their presence is known to the Egyptian hydrocarbon industry. Here we use academic...

Carbon leakage from the deep sea

Ketzer, J Praeg, D Augustin, A

Marine sediments store large quantities of organic carbon derived both from the drainage basins of rivers on land and from life in the oceans. The Amazon is the world's largest river, from which sediment supply to the Atlantic Ocean has resulted over the last millions of years in the build-up of a vast deep-sea fan up to 10 km thick. Since the...
