Summary: Subsurface geological reservoirs of natural hydrogen gas (H2) are currently being explored as clean fuel and energy sources. Detection and identification of the gas in soil remains challenging due to overlapping with biological signatures, but surface advective gas flows may reveal subsoil sources and pressurized gas accumulations. A case study in Turkey, known as Chimaera, demonstrates the massive release of H2 and the potential for using soil H2 advection to differentiate between biological and geological gas origins.

Summary: Through studying the natural hydrogen seeps in Australia, it has been confirmed that fairy circles exist in the region; soil-gas measurements demonstrate persistent hydrogen emissions in the outer ring of circular depressions in a specific geological setting, potentially impacting the generation, migration pathways, and entrapment of natural hydrogen.

Summary: The recent discovery of natural hydrogen seeps in sedimentary basin settings has generated interest in exploring this promising resource. Detecting and exploring hydrogen gas in the sub-surface is a significant challenge that requires costly equipment and reliable methods. The proposed use of a commercial-based sensor to detect and monitor low levels of hydrogen gas emissions from geological environments provides a simple and feasible method for understanding natural hydrogen seeps.

Summary: The study reveals the presence of an active cold seep site in the Krishna-Godavari basin of Bay of Bengal, which supports diverse benthic communities closely related to previously studied environments. The benthic fauna mainly consists of filter feeders preferring a low organic carbon environment. Additionally, the microbial associates in the sediment are significantly correlated with methane and hydrogen sulfide concentrations.

Summary: In the Russian Arctic seas and adjacent areas, 120 sites with siboglinid records have been found, with individuals of 15 species collected. Most records were made in the Barents Sea, followed by the Laptev Sea and the Arctic basin. Many of these records are associated with areas of high hydrocarbon concentrations.

Summary: Gas hydrates can occur on the seafloor, coexisting with bubbling gas in cold seeps. The study found that enhanced gas-water contact due to gas flow can lead to universal hydrate nucleation throughout sedimentary matrices. Higher gas flow rates and formation pressures can result in faster hydrate formation, emphasizing the importance of sufficient gas-water contact in the process.

Summary: This study explores detection and resolution thresholds in seismic imaging and the manifestation of different geological features in seismic signals. The results show that faults with damage zones exhibit noticeable disturbances in seismic signals, while fractures filled with CO2 display stronger amplitudes. Additionally, the study finds that good imaging results can be achieved with appropriate illumination angles.

Summary: Gas hydrate deposits were found in the Krishna-Godavari basin along eastern India, where active and paleo-cold seeps suggest methane venting events. The spatial distribution of gas flares aligns with compressive structures like toe-thrust zones and shale diapiric mounds, indicating favorable environments for gas hydrate formation. High-resolution seismic data also show the presence of seismic chimneys and faults which facilitated deep-seated fluid/gas migration through the gas hydrate stability zone.

Summary: This study investigates active gas seepage sites along the Hikurangi Margin off the North Island of New Zealand using seismic reflection, multibeam, and split-beam hydroacoustic data. The research reveals significant gas emissions in the region, which may impact seafloor biological communities and ocean biogeochemistry.

Summary: This study used data from seismic reflections to investigate the potential distribution and absence of frozen ground and gas hydrates on the East Siberian Arctic Shelf. The study revealed a significant decrease in the area of frozen ground and methane hydrate existence after the postglacial period. Analysis of subsea frozen ground degradation zones suggested a low probability of substantial methane contribution to climate change from dissociating gas hydrates.

Summary: We have demonstrated a practical method for producing ground-state carbon atoms in vacuum through pulsed laser ablation of graphite. The production of ground-state carbon atoms was confirmed by observing fluorescence signals, and the velocity distribution and atomic density of the produced gas were evaluated. This method can produce 1.5 x 108 atoms per pulse at a low energy density.

Summary: There is no common standard for blended hydrogen use in the natural gas grid. The need for quantitative evaluation of hydrogen-natural gas mixtures to ensure the mechanical performance of pipeline structures is becoming increasingly evident. This study provides experimental data on the effect of H-2 concentration in a methane/hydrogen gas mixture and compares the mechanical performance of three pipeline steels.

Summary: Fluid seepage within the Nyegga pockmark field off mid-Norway was investigated through ROV dives at the CNE sites. The seafloor morphology corresponds to pockmarks and adjacent ridges, and chimneys underlie these structures. Present-day methane-rich fluid seepage is indicated by chemosynthetic fauna, microbial mats, and bottom-water methane anomalies. The presence of authigenic carbonates and the ages of methane venting periods provide insights into past seepage. The seafloor morphology, seepage patterns, and pore-water chemistry profiles show heterogeneity.

Summary: Mn-rich sediments were discovered at the active Haima cold seeps in the South China Sea, from which Mn-micronodules were extracted. These micronodules were rapidly formed through biomineralization and chemical precipitation, and were supplied with sufficient Mn by metal-rich seepage fluids. Their presence demonstrates manganese bacterial activities and indirectly reflects metal-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation.
