Adriano Mazzini

TL;DR: In this article, a newly born mud volcano appearing close to an active magmatic complex in a backarc sedimentary basin in Indonesia was reported, where the location of the mud volcano close to magmatic volcanoes results in a high background temperature gradient that triggers mineralogical transformations and geochemical reactions at shallow depth.

TL;DR: In this article, an updated review of the knowledge and implications of mud volcanism is presented, with emphasis on: the terminology used to describe different processes and structures; physical, chemical and morphological characteristics of the several fluid emission structures; the chemical properties of the released fluids, in particular the molecular and isotopic composition of the gas; the mud volcano formation dynamics; and the several implications for petroleum exploration, geo-hazards and global atmospheric methane budget.

TL;DR: In this article, a linear relationship between the depth of emplacement and the size of the saucer-shaped intrusions in sedimentary basins has been found to exist in the Norwegian and North Sea basins and onshore in the Karoo Basin of South Africa.

TL;DR: Mazzini et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated and understand the mechanisms responsible for the formation of piercement structures in sedimentary basins and the role of strike-slip faulting as a triggering mechanism for fluidization.

TL;DR: Authigenic carbonates often associated with microbial mats were recovered from the sea floor and the shallow subsurface during TTR11 cruise (2001), and three areas of active fluid venting and mud volcanism were investigated in the Black Sea below the oxic zone at depths varying between 800 and 2200 m as mentioned in this paper.
