Abstract
During the 89th cruise of the R/V “Akademik Mstislav Keldysh” in 2022, sediment columns were sampled at stations 7441 and 7444 located in the southwestern part of the Kara Sea. Station 7444 was located on a large submeridional depression, under the bottom of which gas-saturated sedimentary strata were detected. Background station 7441 was located at a distance of 68 km from station 7444. For the sediments of the background station 7441, the ratio of hydrocarbon gases C/(C + C) < 100 indicated their thermogenic nature. In the sediment at station 7441, the formation of the gas component in the sediment was due to degradation of OM and inflow of thermogenic gases, while in the sediment of station 7444 there was an inflow of biogenic gas, apparently, from permafrost. The average concentration of CH in the sediment of station 7444 exceeded the average concentration in the sediment of column 7441 by 700 times, and the average concentrations of CO in the sediment of stations 7444 and 7441 were comparable. A sulfate-methane transition zone (SMTZ) was detected at the 541–545 cm horizon of the sediment of station 7444, where sulfate concentration decreased to minimum values, CH and CO concentrations reached maximum values. The sulfur isotopic composition of δS in this region was +20.8‰. The biogenic nature of gas in the sediment of station 7444 was evidenced by low values of the carbon isotopic composition of CH (mean value δC(CH) = –99.7‰), and high C/(C + C) > 10000 ratio near the SMTZ.
