Ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) deposits are widely used in paleoenvironmental reconstructions owing to their mineralogical and geochemical properties. We analyzed Fe-Mn deposits using micro-X-ray fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy to study the paleo-ocean environment. Samples were collected from the OSM-XX seamount in the western Pacific. The Fe-Mn crust...

In low-temperature ocean environments, basalt alteration by seawater precipitates authigenic clay minerals that serve as proxies for reconstructing paleo-ocean conditions because they reflect surrounding oxic-suboxic conditions. In this study, alteration rims on basaltic substrate associated with ferromanganese (Fe-Mn) crust from the Magellan seamo...

The South Atlantic Transect (SAT) is a multidisciplinary scientific ocean drilling experiment designed to investigate the evolution of the ocean crust and overlying sediments across the western flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This project comprises four International Ocean Discovery Program expeditions: fully staffed Expeditions 390 and 393 (April...

The geochemistry and mineralogy of Mn nodules offer crucial insights into the origins, environmental changes, and distribution of abyssal resources. However, the conventional laboratory X-ray diffractometer, usually employed for semi-quantitative analysis of mineral composition in Mn nodules, often fails to sufficiently detect minor phases due to b...

The provenance of sediments in the Ulleung Basin, East Sea (Sea of Japan), could be attributed to diverse sources, including the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) and Korean coast. However, the contributions of these sources and their impacts on the composition of clay minerals, the distribution and composition of which can be used to decipher the paleoe...

Variations in the geochemistry and mineralogical compositions of ferromanganese (Fe‐Mn) nodules are closely related to variations in environmental parameters. Therefore, analysis of Fe‐Mn nodules can reconstruct the paleo‐ocean environment. Here, three differently shaped Fe‐Mn nodules were collected from the open seamount 9‐1 of the western Pacific...

This study investigated ferromanganese oxide (Fe-Mn oxide) precipitated on porifera located on the tabletop of the Magellan seamount (OSM17, 1571 m depth) in the western Pacific. As the growth rate of Fe-Mn oxide is several mm/Myr and porifera skeletons are difficult to preserve posthumously, geochemical and mineralogical studies have not yet been...

In order to determine the sediment provenance and potential iron (Fe) source in abyssal environment, deep sea surface sediments from a transect of the equatorial Pacific Ocean (0–10°N along ~131°W) were investigated for clay mineral assemblages, the elemental composition of smectite, and biogeochemical characteristics, including total organic carbo...

The removal of Sr, Cd, and Pb from nuclear and industrial waste is important as these are harmful to living organisms and the environment. Immobilization of these ions in a zeolite framework is a simple and suitable method. However, zeolites are easily dehydrated at high temperatures. Therefore, the environmental changes around these adsorbed catio...

The second Antarctic station of South Korea was constructed at Terra Nova Bay, East Antarctica, but local seafloor morphology and clay mineralogical characteristics are still not fully understood. Its small bay is connected to a modern Campbell Glacier, cliffs, and raised beaches along the coastline. Fourteen sampling sites to collect surface sedim...

Deep, hot, and more alive than we thought Marine sediments represent a massive microbial ecosystem, but we still do not fully understand what factors shape and limit life underneath the seafloor. Analyzing samples from a subduction zone off the coast of Japan, Heuer et al. found that microbial life, in particular bacterial vegetative cells, decreas...

The advantages of X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) analysis are its non-destructive nature, reliability, fast and easy sample preparation, and low costs. XRPD analysis has been used for mineral identification and the quantitative/qualitative determination of various types of fibrous minerals in asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). In order to test...

Microbial interaction with minerals are significantly linked with depositional conditions during glacial and interglacial periods, providing a unique redox condition in the sedimentary process. Abiotic geophysical and geochemical properties, including sedimentary facies, magnetic susceptibility, grain size, clay mineralogy, and distribution of elem...

Sodium is an essential component of the human body, with known influences on obesity. This paper reports the effect of cube natural sea salt (CNS) on the reduction of obesity in high fat diet-induced obese C57BL/6 mice and 3T3-L1 adipocytes, by ameliorating the obesity parameters and obesity-related gene mechanisms. The suppression of high fat diet...

Recent recession of the Larsen Ice Shelf C has revealed microbial alterations of illite in marine sediments, a process typically thought to occur during low-grade metamorphism. In situ breakdown of illite provides a previously-unobserved pathway for the release of dissolved Fe2+ to porewaters, thus enhancing clay-rich Antarctic sub-ice shelf sedime...

Drilling during International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 370 at Site C0023 encountered instances of hydrothermal mineralization from 775 to 1121 m below seafloor. Fluid inclusion homogenization temperatures measured on barite veins within this interval indicate precipitation from fluids with temperatures up to 220 °C, and salinities...

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) can be used to identify lithologies and deformation structures within geological core, with the potential for the identification processes to be applied automatically. However, because of drilling disturbance and other artifacts, the use of large XCT-datasets in automated processes requires methods of quality control...
Article
Variations in mineralogy and chemical composition, layer structures, redox states of Fe and Mn, and microbial diversity are closely linked to the biogeochemical process when a ferromanganese crust layer forms. A sample collected from the Magellan Seamount (OSM11), in the western Pacific, was characterized in five well-defined layers, top to bottom...

Abstract The study investigates the in-situ strength of sediments across a plate boundary décollement using drilling parameters recorded when a 1180-m-deep borehole was established during International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 370, Temperature-Limit of the Deep Biosphere off Muroto (T-Limit). Information of the in-situ strength of...

In the present study, we investigated secondary products formed on the surface of altered basaltic glass from the sediment-basalt interface by multiple characterizations with EPMA, μXANES, μEXAFS, TEM, and EELS. μXANES and EPMA analyses showed that secondary products with high Fe abundance were precipitated on the surface of basalt glass and that t...
Article
Alteration of basalt is a ubiquitous process on the vast oceanic crust surface and results in the formation of secondary-phase minerals that include clay minerals and Fe-(oxyhydr)oxides. Thus, this process is a significant consequence of water/rock interactions that could reveal the (bio)geochemical conditions of formation. Core samples at the basa...

International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 370 aimed to explore the limits of life in the deep subseafloor biosphere at a location where temperature increases with depth at an intermediate rate and exceeds the known temperature maximum of microbial life (~120°C) at the sediment/basement interface ~1.2 km below the seafloor. Drilling Si...

IODP Expedition 348 (part of the Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment program – NanTroSEIZE) is the first scientific riser-drilling project to access the deep interior of an active accretionary wedge. One major objective for the primary riser hole at IODP Site C0002 was to understand the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the wedge beneath the...

Mineralization of microbial biomass is a common phenomenon in geothermal habitats, but knowledge of the structure of the minerals formed in these environments is limited. A combination of spectroscopic, microscopic, and stable isotopic methods, as well as the chemical analysis of spring water, were employed in the present study to characterize calc...

Deep subseafloor sediment in the South Pacific Gyre was recovered for the first time by Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 329 (2010.10.10 - 2010.12.13). In the present study, the variations of clay minerals with increasing burial depth down to the contact with mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) in sites U1365 and U1369 were investigate...
