1. PURPOSE OF PRESENT BOOK During the period May 19-26, 2003 the
NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) "Mud volcanism, Geodynamics
and Seismicity" was held in Baku. Participants coming from USA,
Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Russian Federation, Ukraine,
Romania, Georgia, UK, Israel, Azerbaijan, Tunisia have discussed
about different geodynamic features of mud volcanism and
participated to field trips oriented to a better knowledge of mud
volcanic features. The Meeting focused on many features of mud
volcanism occurrence and related geodynamic topics. The purpose of
present book is to collect contributions discussed during the
Meeting and to fill a marked editorial gap on mud volcanism. Mud
volcanism was to date described by local monographies or by
articles published by scientific journals. In particular no books
were published on topics able to highlight the link among mud
volcanism, geodynamics and seismicity. Mud volcano of Nirano
(Northern Italy). Engraving from Stoppani A. (1871), Corso di
Geologia, Milan, Bernardoni G. and Brigola G. Publishers. 2. WHY
MUD VOLCANOES ARE GEOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT ? Mud volcanoes have
attracted the attention of earth scientists for many years. Due to
their importance in hydrocarbon research, a consistent progress in
the knowledge of mud volcanism took place in the past twenty years.
Mud extrusion is a well-known phenomenon occurring in geological
environments where fluid-rich, fine grained sediments ascend within
a lithologic succession due to their buoyancy.
