Exploring deep microbial life in coal-bearing sediment down to ~2.5 km below the ocean floor

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the existence of microbial communities in ~40° to 60°C sediment associated with lignite coal beds at ~1.5 to 2.5 km below the seafloor in the Pacific Ocean off Japan, which suggests that terrigenous sediments retain indigenous community members tens of millions of years after burial in the seabed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methane sources and production in the northern Cascadia margin gas hydrate system

TL;DR: In this article, a transect was used to identify the relevant methane evolution pathways in the northern Cascadia accretionary margin, a four-site traning was drilled during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 311, and the δ13C values of methane range from a minimum value of −82.2 to −39.5
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetostratigraphy of Plio-Pleistocene sediments in a 1700-m core from Osaka Bay, southwestern Japan and short geomagnetic events in the middle Matuyama and early Brunhes chrons

TL;DR: A magnetic polarity stratigraphy spanning more than the past 3.2 Myr was determined for a long 1545 m continuous sedimentary sequence of marine, fluvial, and lacustrine deposits from the Osaka Basin, southwestern Japan as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature limits to deep subseafloor life in the Nankai Trough subduction zone

TL;DR: Investigating microbial life in up to 1.2-kilometer-deep and up to 120°C hot sediments in the Nankai Trough subduction zone found that microbial life decreases as depth and temperature increases down to ∼600 meters below the seafloor, corresponding to temperatures of ∼70°C.
