TL;DR: In this article, a manned submersible from fine-grained sediments containing dispersed gas hydrates at the threshold of stability was recovered with a sub-surface detector.

TL;DR: Authigenic carbonates are characterized by δ13C negative values in the range −18‰ to −55‰ (PDB) suggesting mixing of seawater carbon with13C-depleted carbon sources ranging from crude oil to biogenic methane.

TL;DR: The most reliable ages from complex VII corals fall in two tight groups centered at 118 ky and 134 ky, and the younger ages are ~ 10 ky after this peak as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Coral reef terraces consisting of an upward succession of fringing and barrier reef types are preserved on land along the raising coast of Huon Peninsula, New Guinea Seven coral reef units, I-VII from the coast landwards spaced at about 20-kyr interval, provide a rather complete record of sea levels, oxygen isotopes and temperature of the surface tropical ocean over the duration of the high sea level events of the last glacial cycle.

TL;DR: White and pigmented filamentous bacterial mats dominated by several undescribed species of Beggiatoa were sampled during research submersible dives to cold hydrocarbon seep sites on the upper continental slope off Louisiana (130-550 m).
