Diversity of Bacteria and Archaea associated with a carbonate-rich metalliferous sediment sample from the Rainbow vent field on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Two sediment cores were collected in an inactive area of the deep-sea hydrothermal vent field Rainbow (36 degrees N on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge). Metals and carbonates were abundant throughout the… Expand

Agulhas leakage as a key process in the modes of Quaternary climate changes
Heat and salt transfer from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean (Agulhas leakage) has an important effect on the global thermohaline circulation and climate. The lack of long transfer record… Expand

First insights into the structure and environmental setting of cold-seep communities in the Marmara Sea
A brackish-water cold seep on the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) in the Marmara Sea was investigated with the Nautile submersible during the MarNaut cruise in 2007. This active zone has already been… Expand

Archaeal and bacterial lipids in authigenic carbonate crusts from eastern Mediterranean mud volcanoes
Abstract We investigated the distributions and δ 13 C values of lipid biomarkers in authigenic methane-related carbonate crusts formed on eastern Mediterranean mud volcanoes. A highly diverse suite… Expand
