Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) and other hydrocarbons prevents methane emission from marine sediments into the atmosphere. This study tries to illuminate aspects of AOM investigating shallow marine core sediments from Katakolo bay (W. Greece), one of the vastest thermogenic gas seepage fiel...
