| The Eastern Mediterranean hosts a variety of active cold seep systems, such as gas chimneys, mud volcanoes and pockmarks, in water depths of 500 to 3200 m. As part of the NAUTINIL expedition in 2003, the sediments of cold seeps on the Nile Deep Sea Fan (NDSF) were sampled for the first time for biogeochemical and microbiological analyses. Here we compare rates of the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) and sulfate reduction (SR) as well as the microbial community structure of a variety of cold seep systems including mud volcanoes, pockmarks and brine seeps. Our results revealed strong differences in microbial activity among the different seep systems of the Eastern, Central and Western provinces of the NDSF, as well as the Olimpi field (Central... |

| The MEDECO Leg 2 cruise followed the MEDECO Leg 1 cruise that had crossed the Mediterranean Sea from the west to the east to study benthic communities of the Var canyon, deep corals found on the Calabrian Margin and cold seep ecosystems of the Mediterranean Ridge. The main objective of the MEDECO Leg 2 cruise was to study and compare, using a multidisciplinary approach, the structure and dynamics of deep-sea ecosystems at various active cold seep sites from the Nile deep sea fan and the Calabrian Arc, in the Eastern Mediterranean sea. During MEDECO Legs 1 & 2, a multiscale strategy was promoted to integrate (1) a high resolution cartography of geological structures (km2 scale), (2) a detailed mapping, including video imagery, of smaller-scale areas... |

| Recent data on the western Mediterranean basin (Joides cruise, Montadert et al., 1970, Auzende et al., 1971, Le Borgne et al., 1971) and its connection with the evolution of the Atlantic area (Le Pichon et al., 1970, Talwani et al., 1971, Le Pichon et al. in writing) lead us, like other authors (Dubourdieu, 1962, Stanley and Mutti, 1968, Ryan, 1969 amongst others) to admit the theory of an opening of the Algero-provencal basin during the Cenozoic era. A series of arguments drove us to formulate the hypothesis of an Oligocene age (in process). This work is in line with this perspective. [...] |

| The landward termination of Walvis Ridge consists of two east-trending basement ridges of probable basaltic composition enclosing a relatively important sedimentary basin. East of long. 10° E., the southern ridge disappears under the sediments of the continental margin. The trends of the basement ridges are in good agreement with the inferred direction of initial opening. Since its formation, the Walvis Ridge has probably dammed sediment coming from the south. The proposed identification of layer A, a very strong horizon over which the reflectors are nearly undisturbed, may indicate that no major tectonic phase has affected this area since the shift of the pole of opening for the south Atlantic in Late Cretaceous-early Tertiary time.

| Submarine hydrocarbon seeps are geologically driven "hotspots" of increased biological activity on the seabed. As part of the HERMES project, several sites of natural hydrocarbon seepage in the European seas were investigated in detail, including mud volcanoes and pockmarks, in study areas extending from the Nordic margin, to the Gulf of Cadiz, to the Mediterranean and Black seas. High-resolution seabed maps and the main properties of key seep sites are presented here. Individual seeps show ecosystem zonation related to the strength of the methane flux and distinct biogeochemical processes in surface sediments. A feature common to many seeps is the formation of authigenic carbonate constructions. These constructions exhibit various morphologies ranging... |

| Ferruginous sandstones and slightly metamorphosed sandstones have been dredged on the continental slope off the Ghanaian coast at depths of 3 500 to 2 000 m. Their attribution to the Paleozoic series known on dry land is not quite obvious, though some lithologic affinities exist. As a consequence, the continental slope in this area, which corresponds to the structural continuation of the Romanche fracture zone, is partially of sedimentary nature. |

| The main structural features of the continental margin off West Spitzberg are outlined. Seaward the Atka ridge has acted like a dam for the eastward-flowing sediments and thus helped to build up a large sedimentary basin, narrowing towards the North. Magnetic and seismic data show that the Atka Valley is probably an active accretion rift valley. These results are in good agreement with the last hypothesis on the opening of the Norwegian Sea. During the Pliocene, a tectonic event may have affected Atka ridge and modified the subsequent sedimentation. [NOT CONTROLLED OCR] |

| In the eastern Mediterranean, numerous argilo-kinetic manifestations, commonly named 'mud volcanoes', have been identified and studied in some detail during the last twenty years using several techniques. The Medinaut survey (December 1998) has provided new insights into this phenomenon through twenty deep dives performed with the submersible Nautile within two areas particularly active in terms of mud expulsions: the central Mediterranean ridge south of Crete, and the Anaximander mountains area, south of Turkey. The morphology, petrography, microstructure and biostratigraphy of different clasts sampled in the two areas helped to better understand the mud volcano formation and subsequent evolution. Paleoenvironmental conditions, ranging from deep marine... |

| Reconstructions of the continents prior to the opening of the Norwegian sea indicate an overlap between the Greenland and the Norwegian continental margins just west of the Barentz sea and imply that the basement of this area is of oceanic origin. Seismic profiling shows an oceanic-type basement covered by thick Tertiary sediments. The sedimentary supply is related to the geological history of the Barentz sea where only little unconsolidated sediments are known. Further south the structures of the present margin are directly related to the early opening of the Norwegian sea. [NOT CONTROLLED OCR] |

| The Menes caldera is a fault-controlled depression (~8 km in diameter) at ~3,000 m water depth in the western province of the Nile deep-sea fan off NW Egypt, comprising seven mud volcanoes (MVs) of which two are active. Based on multichannel and chirp seismic data, temperature profiles, and high-resolution bathymetric data collected during the 2000 Fanil, 2004 Mimes and 2007 Medeco2 expeditions, the present study investigates factors controlling MV morphology, the geometry of feeder channels, and the origin of emitted fluids. The active Cheops and Chephren MVs are 1,500 m wide with subcircular craters at their summits, about 250 m in diameter, generally a few tens of metres deep, and filled with methane-rich muddy brines with temperatures reaching 42 °C... |

| USING the trends of equatorial, marginal fracture ridges, Le Pichon and Hayes proposed an early phase for the opening of the South Atlantic, with a pole of rotation at 21.5°N, 14°W with respect to Africa. Francheteau and Le Pichon2 tested this plate tectonic model with the whole South Atlantic and assumed that there is a relationship between continental margin offsets, the subsidence of coastal basins, and adjacent marginal fracture zones. We have studied extensions of fracture zones in the Gulf of Guinea and adjacent continental margins and have determined a new early opening pole that differs markedly from the one previously determined.

The hypothesis of a possible evaporitic layer is presented and discussed ; the general structure of the area is briefly compared to the structure of the northern margin of the gulf of Mexico where well-known evaporitic structures occur along the whole margin.

| On the central Nile deep-sea fan, stratified sediments overlying mass-transport deposits (MTDs) are deformed into slope-parallel seabed undulations associated with fluid seepage. The western part of this system, in water depths of 1,950–2,250 m, is examined using multi-frequency data from hull-mounted and deep-towed swath/profiling systems. Sub-bottom profiles show sub-vertical fluid pipes that terminate both at and below seabed, and gas signatures along fault planes bounding the undulations. Fluid seepage is recorded by high- to intermediate-backscatter patches (HBPs, IBPs) that differ in appearance on multibeam imagery (30 kHz, ≤3 m penetration) and sidescan swaths (170/190 kHz, <0.1 m penetration). Comparison of the two suggests a distinction of (a)... |

| Large areas of the Atlantic ocean continental margin do not fit with the classic atlantic type continental margin model in which only simple geometrical arrangements have been distinguished. A new structural type, related to marginal offsets and corresponding fracture ridges is fundamentally different from the classic margin. Consequently, it is proposed to distinguish the rifted atlantic-type margin, the pacific-type margin and the transform faulted or strike-slip margin as three different and fundamental types of continental margins.

| During the Geobrésil cruise of the R. V. Jean Charcot (1973) several marine geophysical lines, including bathymetry, magnetism, continuous seismic as well as sonobuoy profiles have been run across a deep marginal plateau extending on the southeastern Brazilian margin and known as the Sao Paulo Plateau. These data indicate the presence of a thick sedimentary cover (more than 4s DTT) on the upper slope and up to 3s DTT thick on the lower slope and rise. The entire slope is highly disturbed by salt diapiric structures mostly apparent between the 2 000-3 000 bathymetriclines and comparable to the ones described in the western Mediterranean sea. The Sao Paulo scarp, bordering the deep marginal plateau to the South-West, is believed to be a discontinuous and "en... |

| Numerous data obtained during recent marine geophysical surveys have been compiled together in order to present the structural framework of Niger Delta and adjacent areas. Seismic reflection results show that the delta slope is characterized by intense diapiric deformations and that the overall structure of the delta is fairly comparable to the structures of the Gulf Coast province margin or of Angolan margin. Seismics as well as gravity and magnetic measurements indicate the existence in the vicinity of the Niger delta of two oceanic trends apparently related to an early phase of opening of the South Atlantic. Both trends can tentatively be correlated on land with the major structures known in the southern and northern Benue trough. A comparion between... |

| In 1921 the "Pourquoi pas?" undertook, under the authority of J. Charcot, an identification of the Rockall bank (2). The petrographic nature of this relief was studied by Lacroix (2) who concluded to aegirine granite dated, since then, by Miller (3) and Sabine (4), from the early Tertiary period. At the beginning of the Noratlante cruise, in August 1969, the "J. Charcot" carried out a number of profiles, tallying the Porcupine and the Rockall area (fig.1). In addition to the gravimetry and magnetism recordings, an oblique-reflection profile and six Flexotir seismic-reflection profiles (with a frequency comprised of between 10 and 30 cycles) were carried out. We only present here the first results based on this last technique. |
