In response to the accelerating processes of marine natural gas hydrate exploration and gas
production from hydrate-bearing sediments, their potential impacts on the environment have …

Gas hydrates and deep-sea cold seeps are of interest to industry and academia for several
reasons, including their implications for offshore geohazards and unconventional resources …

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 …

Site F (also named Formosa ridge) represents the most vigorous cold seep on the northern
South China Sea continental slope. In order to constrain the fluid sources and intensities of …

Geological structure changes, including deformations and ruptures, developed in shallow
marine sediments are well recognized but were not systematically reviewed in previous …

More than 30 sites of active and inactive methane seepage have been discovered on the
continental slope of the South China Sea over the past decade. Here we use stable isotopes …

Authigenic carbonate deposits have been sampled with the remotely operated vehicle
'MARUM-QUEST 4000 m'from five methane seeps between 731 and 1823 m water depth …

Methane seepage causes significant changes in the local diagenetic environment and
impacts the marine sedimentary cycles of sulfur, carbon, and molybdenum (Mo), which are …

Release of methane from the seafloor throughout the world's oceans and the
biogeochemical processes involved may have significant effects on the marine sedimentary …

Oil seeps from the southern Gulf of Mexico can be regarded as natural laboratories where
