Gas hydrate is mainly explored through seismic methods, which, however, are bedeviled by
the problem of uncertainty due to lack of constraints. Rock physics model links the physical …

Subduction zones serve as carbon recycling centers, where vast amassments of geologic
carbon accrete or subduct through thermogenic gas windows over millions of years. We …

We analyse reflection seismic profiles across the outer accretionary wedge at the
convergent New Zealand Hikurangi margin. We identify several, in some case stacked …

The highest concentration of cold seep sites worldwide has been observed along
convergent margins, where fluid migration through sedimentary sequences is enhanced by …

The southern Hikurangi subduction zone exhibits significant along‐strike variation in
convergence rate and obliquity, sediment thickness and, uniquely, the increasing proximity …

Gas hydrates are widespread along convergent margins, but their distribution is highly
variable. This variability has been attributed to a range of factors, such as the source of gas …

Sub‐seabed fluid flow, gas hydrate accumulation and seafloor methane seepage are tightly
interwoven processes with implications for marine biodiversity, ocean chemistry and …

The origin of double bottom simulating reflectors (BSRs) and their relationship with gas
hydrate systems are of great significance to the exploration of gas hydrate resources in …

Gas hydrate is an ice-like form of water containing gas, in nature mostly methane (CH 4),
which requires moderate pressures and low temperatures. The replacement of CH 4 by CO …

The dynamics of accretionary prisms and the processes that take place along subduction
interfaces are controlled, in part, by the porosity and fluid overpressure of both the forearc …
