Investigations carried out on surface sediments collected from the Anaximander mud volcanoes in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea to determine sedimentary and geochemical properties. The sediment grain size distribution and geochemical contents were determined by grain size analysis, organic carbon, carbonate contents and element analysis. The results of element contents were compared to background levels of Earth's crust. The factors that affect element distribution in sediments were calculated by the nine push core samples taken from the surface of mud volcanoes by the E/V Nautilus. The grain size of the samples varies from sand to sandy silt. Enrichment and Contamination factor analysis showed that these analyses can also be used to evaluate of deep sea environmental and source parameters. It is concluded that the biological and cold seep effects are the main drivers of surface sediment characteristics from the Anaximander mud volcanoes.
对从东地中海阿那克西曼德泥火山采集的表层沉积物进行了调查，以确定沉积物和地球化学特性。通过粒度分析、有机碳、碳酸盐含量和元素分析来确定沉积物粒度分布和地球化学含量。将元素含量结果与地壳背景水平进行了比较。利用“鹦鹉螺号”勘探船从泥火山表面采集的9个柱状岩芯样本，计算了影响沉积物中元素分布的因素。样本的粒度从砂到砂质粉砂不等。富集和污染因子分析表明，这些分析也可用于评估深海环境和源参数。得出的结论是，生物和冷泉效应是阿那克西曼德泥火山表层沉积物特征的主要驱动因素。
