Barium cycling in shallow sediment above active mud volcanoes in the Gulf of Mexico
Two mud volcanoes in the Gulf of Mexico were examined to understand barium cycling in shallow seafloor sediment at regions of intense methane expulsion. Due to anaerobic oxidation of methane and sulfate reduction, barium interacts with methane and sulfate, producing barite fronts at the sulfate-meth...
