  The mid-Norwegian margin is regarded as an example of a volcanic-rifted margin, formed prior to and during, Paleogene breakup of the northeast Atlantic. The area is characterized by the presence of voluminous basaltic complexes such as extrusive lava and lava delta sequences, intrusive sills and dikes, and hydrothermal vent complexes. We have developed a detailed 3D seismic analysis of fluid-and gas-induced hydrothermal vent complexes in a 310 km2 area in the Møre Basin, offshore Norway. We find that formation of hydrothermal vent complexes is accommodated by deformation of the host rock when sills are emplaced. Fluids are generated by metamorphic reactions and pore-fluid expansion around sills and are focused around sill tips due to buoyancy. Hydrothermal vent complexes are associated with doming of the overlying strata, leading to the formation of draping mounds above the vent contemporary surface. The morphological characteristics of the upper part and the underlying feeder structure (conduit zone) are imaged and studied in 3D seismic data. Well data indicate that the complexes formed during the early Eocene, linking their formation to the time of the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum at c. 56 Ma. The well data further suggest that the hydrothermal vent complexes were active for a considerable time period, corresponding to a c. 100 m thick transition zone unit with primary Apectodinium augustum and redeposited very mature Cretaceous and Jurassic palynomorphs. The newly derived understanding of age, structure, and formation of hydrothermal vent complexes in the Møre Basin contributes to the general understanding of the igneous plumbing system in volcanic basins and their implications for the paleoclimate and petroleum systems.

  Pockmarks are seafloor craters usually formed during methane release on continental margins. However, the mechanisms behind their formation and dynamics remain elusive. Here we report detailed investigations on one of the World's largest pockmark fields located in the Troll region in the northern North Sea. Seafloor investigations show that >7000 pockmarks are present in a ∼600 km2 area. A similar density of pockmarks is likely present over a 15,000 km2 region outside our study area. Based on extensive monitoring, coring, geophysical and geochemical analyses, no indications of active gas seepage were found. Still, geochemical data from carbonate blocks collected from these pockmarks indicate a methanogenic origin linked to gas hydrate dissociation and past fluid venting at the seafloor. We have dated the carbonates using the U–Th method in order to constrain the pockmark formation. The carbonates gave an isochron age of 9.59±1.38 ka9.59±1.38 ka, i.e. belonging to the initial Holocene. Moreover, radiocarbon dating of microfossils in the sediments inside the pockmarks is consistent with the ages derived from the carbonates. Based on pressure and temperature modelling, we show that the last deglaciation could have triggered dissociation of gas hydrates present in the region of the northern part of the Norwegian Channel, causing degassing of 0.26 MtCH4/km2 at the seafloor. Our results stress the importance of external climatic forcing of the dynamics of the seafloor, and the role of the rapid warming following the Younger Dryas in pacing the marine gas hydrate reservoir.

  The Siberian Traps Large igneous province was a key player in the end-Permian extinction and climatic change due to degassing from lavas and heated sedimentary rocks. Although the specific degassing scenarios from the province are debated, this implies that gas release on a timescale tuned to the cooling of lava flows and subvolcanic intrusions (i.e. decades to centuries) must have been sufficient to affect the atmospheric chemistry. Here we test this assumption by using simple box model calculations to constrain century-scale degassing of CO2 and CH4 from high-end volumes of individual lava flows and sills from the Siberian Traps. The model includes gas fluxes of CH4 and CO2, their atmospheric lifetimes and radiative forcing, as well as the climate sensitivity in a global average climate system calibrated to end-Permian time. The fluxes are estimated based on lava degassing and contact aureole volumes and devolatilization during the first 100 years following emplacement. We test the sensitivity to extreme emissions of up to 25 GtC/yr, CH4 fractions from 0 to 100%, wide ranges of climate sensitivities (1.5–6.0 °C for CO2 doubling), pre-event concentrations, and atmospheric lifetimes. We find that the global annual mean temperature perturbation is 7.0 °C in our baseline case using a 10 GtC/yr emission and a 60% CH4 fraction, assuming 4.5 °C as the climate sensitivity. Even for low emission scenarios (0.7–1.2 GtC/yr), the temperature response is ~ 1.5 °C. We conclude that sporadic individual large-scale volcanic events in Large igneous provinces have the potential to cause a strong global warming on very short timescales. In addition to the emission strength, the CH4 fraction and the climate sensitivity have the strongest impact on the century-scale temperature perturbation.

  Acoustic imaging has revealed more than 7000 pockmarks on the seafloor above the Troll East gas field in the Norwegian North Sea. We present the first comprehensive study conducted on one of the World's largest pockmark fields complementing the acoustic data with extensive sampling, geochemical and petrographical studies. Specifically, we aimed at detecting possible active seepage still present over this vast area. The pockmarks are present as isolated structures, on average ~ 35 m wide and up to 100 m in size. In addition, smaller satellite pockmarks surround some of the pockmarks. In contrast to the muddy surroundings, parts of the investigated pockmarks contain laterally extensive carbonate deposits or meter sized carbonate blocks. These blocks provide shelter to abundant colonies of benthic megafauna. The carbonate blocks are comprised of micritic Mg-calcite and calcite, micritic aragonite, and botryoidal aragonite. Framboidal pyrite is also commonly present. Carbon isotopic values of the carbonates are 13C-depleted (δ13C as low as − 59.7‰) and with δ18O up to 4.5‰, indicating a methanogenic origin, possibly linked to gas hydrate dissociation. Pore water extracted from shallow cores from the centre and the flanks of the pockmarks show similar Cl and SO4 profiles as the reference cores outside the pockmarks, ruling out active methane seepage. This conclusion is also supported by seafloor video observations that did not reveal any evidence of visual fluid seepage, and by the absence of microbial mats and by the fact that the carbonate blocks are exposed on the seafloor and party oxidized on the surface. We conclude that methane seepage formed this extensive gas field following to gas hydrate dissociation.
