The structure of the mud volcano Novosibirsk based on the results of geological and geophysical studies

Abstract

Lake Baikal is the only fresh-water reservoir where gas hydrates were found. More than half of the hydrate-bearing structures are associated with mud volcanism, which makes Baikal mud volcanoes an important object of research and comparison with marine mud volcanoes. Multiple geological and geophysical studies have allowed us to identify elements and characteristics of marine mud volcanism near the mud volcano Novosibirsk.
