After nearly 20 years of exploration, various areas of the seafloor with hydrocarbon seepage
have been discovered in the South China Sea (SCS). Through linking subsurface and …

Submarine methane seepage can potentially be promoted by the dissociation of the marine
hydrates surrounding the continental margins due to oceanic warming since the Last Glacial …

Methane hydrates are widely distributed along continental margins, representing a potential
source of methane to the ocean and atmosphere, possibly influencing Earth's climate. Yet …

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that enters the marine system in large quantities at
seafloor methane seeps. At a newly discovered seep site off the coast of Point Dume, CA …

The uranium (U) isotope ratio (238 U/235 U, reported as δ 238 U) in marine carbonates is an
important proxy for reconstructing changes in past oceanic redox conditions, based on the …

Carbonate precipitation and weathering in basalts during seafloor low-temperature
alteration constitute an important, yet poorly understood, sink of carbon in the ocean [1, 2]. It …

Methane seepage records information of the local carbon cycle with respect to the
generation, consumption and sequestration of carbon. Here presents the investigation of 7 …

Accurate monitoring of strata movement is crucial for understanding the geomorphological
evolution of the cold seeps. However, the complex environments and inherent challenges of …

Hydrocarbon seeps are common manifestations of gas leakage from the seafloor. However,
the fate of methane seepage within the gas hydrate stability zone at active margins is poorly …

Authigenic carbonates that form at hydrocarbon seeps, known as seep carbonates, are
direct records of past fluid flow close to the seafloor. Stable carbon isotopes of seep …
