    • Biogeochemical Consequences of Nonvertical Methane Transport in Sediment Offshore Northwestern Svalbard 

      Treude, Tina; Krause, Stefan; Steinle, Lea; Burwicz, Ewa B.; Hamdan, L.J.; Niemann, Helge; Feseker, Tomas; Liebetrau, Volker; Krastel, Sebastian; Berndt, Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-21)
      A site at the gas hydrate stability limit was investigated offshore northwestern Svalbard to study methane transport in sediment. The site was characterized by chemosynthetic communities (sulfur bacteria mats, tubeworms) and gas venting. Sediments were sampled with in situ porewater collectors and by gravity coring followed by analyses of porewater constituents, sediment and carbonate geochemistry, ...

    • Glacigenic sedimentation pulses triggered postglacial gas hydrate dissociation 

      Karstens, Jens; Haflidason, Haflidi; Becker, Lukas W.M.; Berndt, Christian; Rüpke, Lars; Planke, Sverre; Liebetrau, Volker; Schmidt, Markus; Mienert, Jürgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-12)
      Large amounts of methane are stored in continental margins as gas hydrates. They are stable under high pressure and low, but react sensitively to environmental changes. Bottom water temperature and sea level changes were considered as main contributors to gas hydrate dynamics after the last glaciation. However, here we show with numerical simulations that pulses of increased sedimentation dominantly ...

    • Monitoring Of CO2 Leakage Using High-Resolution 3D Seismic Data – Examples From Snøhvit, Vestnesa Ridge And The Western Barents Sea 

      Bellwald, Benjamin; Waage, Malin; Planke, S; Lebedeva-Ivanova, Nina; Polteau, S; Tasianas, Alexandros; Bünz, Stefan; Plaza-Faverola, Andreia; Berndt, Christian; Stokke, H.H.; Millett, John; Myklebust, R. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-21)
      Injection of CO2 in subsurface reservoirs may cause overburden deformation and CO2 leakage. The aim of this study is to apply technologies for detection and monitoring of CO2 leakage and deformation above the injection reservoirs. The examples of this study include data from the Vestnesa Ridge natural seep site, the Snøhvit gas field and CO2 storage site region, and the Gemini North gas reservoir. ...

    • Multiscale characterisation of chimneys/pipes: Fluid escape structures within sedimentary basins 

      Robinson, Adam H.; Callow, Ben; Böttner, Christoph; Yilo, Naima; Provenzano, Giuseppe; Falcon-Suarez, Ismael H; Marin-Moreno, Héctor; Lichtschlag, Anna; Bayrakci, Gaye; Gehrmann, Romina; Parkes, Lou; Roche, Ben; Saleem, Umer; Schramm, Bettina; Waage, Malin; Lavayssière, Aude; Li, Jianghui; Jedari-Eyvazi, Farid; Sahoo, Sourav; Deusner, Christian; Kossel, Elke; Minshull, Timothy A.; Berndt, Christian; Bull, Jonathan M.; Dean, Marcella; Chapman, Mark; Best, Angus I.; Bünz, Stefan; Chen, Baixin; Connelly, Douglas P.; Elger, Judith; Haeckel, Matthias; Henstock, Timothy J.; Karstens, Jens; Macdonald, Calum; Matter, Juerg M.; North, Laurence; Reinardy, Benedict (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-19)
      Evaluation of seismic reflection data has identified the presence of fluid escape structures cross-cutting overburden stratigraphy within sedimentary basins globally. Seismically-imaged chimneys/pipes are considered to be possible pathways for fluid flow, which may hydraulically connect deeper strata to the seabed. The properties of fluid migration pathways through the overburden must be constrained ...

    • Reduced methane seepage from Arctic sediments during cold bottom-water conditions 

      Ferré, Benedicte; Jansson, Pär; Moser, Manuel; Serov, Pavel; Portnov, Aleksei D; Graves, Carolyn; Panieri, Giuliana; Gründger, Friederike; Berndt, Christian; Lehmann, Moritz F.; Niemann, Helge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-13)
      Large amounts of methane are trapped within gas hydrate in subseabed sediments in the Arctic Ocean, and bottom-water warming may induce the release of methane from the seafloor. Yet the effect of seasonal temperature variations on methane seepage activity remains unknown as surveys in Arctic seas are conducted mainly in summer. Here we compare the activity of cold seeps along the gas hydrate stability ...

    • Shallow-water hydrothermal venting linked to the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum 

      Berndt, Christian; Planke, Sverre; Alvarez Zarikian, Carlos A.; Frieling, Joost; Jones, Morgan Thomas; Millett, John M.; Brinkhuis, Henk; Bünz, Stefan; Svensen, Henrik Hovland; Longman, Jack; Scherer, Reed P.; Karstens, Jens; Manton, Ben; Nelissen, Mei; Reed, Brandon; Faleide, Jan Inge; Huismans, Ritske Sipke; Agarwal, Amar; Andrews, Graham D.M.; Betlem, Peter; Bhattacharya, Joyeeta; Chatterjee, Sayantani; Christopoulou, Marialena; Clementi, Vincent J.; Ferré, Eric C.; Filina, Irina Y.; Guo, Pengyuan; Harper, Dustin T.; Lambart, Sarah; Mohn, Geoffroy; Nakaoka, Reina; Tegner, Christian; Varela, Natalia; Wang, Mengyuan; Xu, Weimu; Yager, Stacy L. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-08-03)
      The Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a global warming event of 5–6 °C around 56 million years ago caused by input of carbon into the ocean and atmosphere. Hydrothermal venting of greenhouse gases produced in contact aureoles surrounding magmatic intrusions in the North Atlantic Igneous Province have been proposed to play a key role in the PETM carbon-cycle perturbation, but the precise ...

    • Temporal constraints on hydrate-controlled methane seepage off Svalbard 

      Berndt, Christian; Feseker, Tomas; Treude, Tina; Krastel, Sebastien; Liebetrau, Volker; Niemann, Helge; Bertics, Victoria; Dumke, Ines; Dünnbier, Karolin; Ferré, Benedicte; Graves, Carolyn; Gross, Felix; Hissmann, Karen; Hühnerbach, Veit; Krause, Stefan; Lieser, Kathrin; Schauer, Jürgen; Steinle, Lea (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-01-17)
      Methane hydrate is an icelike substance that is stable at high pressure and low temperature in continental margin sediments. Since the discovery of a large number of gas flares at the landward termination of the gas hydrate stability zone off Svalbard, there has been concern that warming bottom waters have started to dissociate large amounts of gas hydrate and that the resulting methane release may ...

    • Thermal state of the Guaymas Basin derived from gas hydrate bottom simulating reflections and heat flow measurements 

      Sarkar, Sudipta; Moser, Manuel; Berndt, Christian; Doll, Mechthild; Böttner, Christoph; Chi, Wu-Cheng; Klaeschen, Dirk; Galerne, Christophe; Karstens, Jens; Geilert, Sonja; Mortera-Gutierrez, C.; Hensen, Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-20)
      Seafloor heat flow provides information about the thermal evolution of the lithosphere, the magnitude and timing of volcanic activity, and hydrothermal circulation patterns. In the central Gulf of California, the Guaymas Basin is part of a young marginal spreading rift system that experiences high sedimentation (1–5 km/Myr) and widespread magmatic intrusions in the axial troughs and the off-axis ...

    • Water column methanotrophy controlled by a rapid oceanographic switch 

      Steinle, Lea; Graves, Carolyn A.; Treude, Tina; Ferré, Benedicte; Biastoch, Arne; Bussmann, Ingeborg; Berndt, Christian; Krastel, Sebastian; James, Rachel H.; Behrens, Erik; Böning, Claus W.; Greinert, Jens; Sapart, Célia-Julia; Scheinert, Markus; Sommer, Stefan; Lehmann, Moritz F.; Niemann, Helge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-20)
      Large amounts of the greenhouse gas methane are released from the seabed to the water column, where it may be consumed by aerobic methanotrophic bacteria. The size and activity of methanotrophic communities, which determine the amount of methane consumed in the water column, are thought to be mainly controlled by nutrient and redox dynamics. Here, we report repeated measurements of methanotrophic ...
