Three decades after the discovery of cold seep systems, various sites of hydrocarbon
seepage have been found in the South China Sea (SCS). Over the past decade, these sites …

Research on gas hydrates has progressed over the past several decades as a technology
enabler for several innovative applications in the areas of water, energy, and environmental …

Natural gas hydrates occur worldwide in polar regions, normally associated with onshore
and offshore permafrost, and in sediment of outer continental and insular margins. The total …

Authigenic carbonates recovered from two newly discovered active cold seeps on the
northwestern slope of the South China Sea have been studied using petrography …

Isotopic records across the “Latest Paleocene Thermal Maximum “(LPTM) indicate that
bottom water temperature increased by more than 4° C during a brief time interval (< 104 …

Analyses of 3-D seismic data in predominantly basin-floor settings offshore Indonesia,
Nigeria, and the Gulf of Mexico, reveal the extensive presence of gravity-flow depositional …

Abstract In 2018, Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey conducted the fifth gas hydrate
drilling expedition (GMGS5) in the northwestern continental slope of South China Sea. We …

Review of the literature reveals that the nature of pore‐scale interactions between gas
hydrates and porous media remains a matter of controversy. To clarify the situation, nuclear …

For almost 30 years. serious interest has been directed toward natural gas hydrate, a
crystalline solid composed of water and methane, as a potential (i) energy resource,(ii) factor …

We determined the geochemical characteristics of sediments and measured rates of the
anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) and sulfate reduction (SR) in samples collected near …
