| In a previous article published in the "cahiers Océanographiques" XXII, 1 (January 1970), pp. 25-32, I described the broad lines of subactual sedimentation in and around the canyon of Toulon. This data had been collected during a drilling cruise conducted in October 1967. Out of the 41 successful drillings, 17 had enabled the collection of rock samples representing, either the Maures basement in which the canyon of Toulon is cut, or more recent deposits, episodes of the eustatic or tectonic variations of the water level over the Quaternary and maybe the Pliocene era. |

| 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.

| 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... |

| 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... |

| 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 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] |

| The Nile deep sea fan system presents a rich variety of fluid escape structures, gas chimneys, pockmarks and carbonate crust mounds, brines pools, and several types of mud volcano. These seep-related structures were explored for the first time with the Nautile submersible during the 2003 Nautinil expedition and are characterized by high thermal gradients and highly gas-saturated sediments. More recently, high resolution side scan sonar data acquired during the 2004 Mimes expedition brings more detail to the geophysical imagery. The EdgeTech DTS-1 deep tow sonar coupled with a 2-8 kHz chirp subbottom penetrator was deployed around 100 m above the seafloor and operated at a frequency of 75 kHz. Several gas plumes were acoustically detected in the water... |

| Existing knowledge on the distribution of mud volcanoes (MVs) and other significant fluid/free gas-venting features (mud cones, mud pies, mud-brine pools, mud carbonate cones, gas chimneys and, in some cases, pockmark fields) discovered on the seafloor of the Mediterranean Sea and in the nearby Gulf of Cadiz has been compiled using regional geophysical information (including multibeam coverage of most deepwater areas). The resulting dataset comprises both features proven from geological sampling, or in situ observations, and many previously unrecognized MVs inferred from geophysical evidence. The synthesis reveals that MVs clearly have non-random distributions that correspond to two main geodynamic settings: (1) the vast majority occur along the various... |

| 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... |

| 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. |

| 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.

| Marine sediments at ocean margins vent substantial amounts of methane(1,2). Microbial oxidation of the methane released can trigger the precipitation of carbonate within sediments and support a broad diversity of seafloor ecosystems(3,4). The factors controlling microbial activity and carbonate precipitation associated with the seepage of submarine fluid over geological time remain poorly constrained. Here, we characterize the petrology and geochemistry of rocks sampled from metre-size build-ups of methane-derived carbonate chimneys located at the Amon mud volcano on the Nile deep-sea fan. We find that these carbonates comprise porous structures composed of aggregated spherules of aragonite, and closely resemble microbial carbonate reefs forming at present... |

| The central Nile Deep-Sea Fan contains a broad area of seabed destabilisation in association with fluid seepage: slope-parallel sediment undulations are associated with multibeam high-backscatter patches (HBPs) related to authigenic carbonates. During the 2011 APINIL campaign, a deep-towed sidescan and profiling system (SAR) was used to acquire high-resolution data along three transects across water depths of 1,700-2,650 m. Three seabed domains are distinguished, all developed within stratified sediments overlying mass-transport deposits (MTDs). Upslope of the undulations (<1,950 m), sidescan HBPs record focused fluid seepage via seabed cracks. In the western area of undulations, sidescan HBPs are distinct from intermediate-backscatter patches (IBPs)... |

| 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)... |

| 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... |

| On the passive margin of the Nile deep-sea fan, the active Cheops mud volcano (MV; ca. 1,500 m diameter, ~20–30 m above seafloor, 3,010–3,020 m water depth) comprises a crater lake with hot (up to ca. 42 °C) methane-rich muddy brines in places overflowing down the MV flanks. During the Medeco2 cruise in fall 2007, ROV dives enabled detailed sampling of the brine fluid, bottom lake sediments at ca. 450 m lake depth, sub-surface sediments from the MV flanks, and carbonate crusts at the MV foot. Based on mineralogical, elemental and stable isotope analyses, this study aims at exploring the origin of the brine fluid and the key biogeochemical processes controlling the formation of these deep-sea authigenic carbonates. In addition to their patchy occurrence in... |

| 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 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.
