Abstract The South China Block has experienced multiple phases of tectonic deformation
since the Middle Jurassic. Understanding this deformation history helps reveal the driving …

Gas hydrate is a solid crystalline material composed of a gas molecule enclosed by a cage
of water molecules (called a clathrate)(Sloan 1998). Natural gas could form gas hydrate in …

In order to identify the mud diapirs and mud volcanoes off SW Taiwan, we have examined∼
1500 km long MCS profiles and related marine geophysical data. Our results show ten quasi …

Submarine mud diapirs (MDs) and volcanoes, often linked with gas hydrates and
hydrocarbons, are prevalent features in the offshore region of SW Taiwan. Despite their …

We use offshore multichannel seismic (MCS) reflection and wide‐angle seismic data sets to
model the velocity structure of the incipient arc‐continent collision along two trench …

Supplies of conventional natural gas and oil are declining fast worldwide, and therefore
new, unconventional forms of energy resources are needed to meet the ever-increasing …

An interpretation for the gravity anomalies is essential to visualize the horizontal and vertical
extension of the subsurface intrusion like mud diapirs resembling dike-like geologic bodies …

This study examines how multiscale oceanographic processes interact with the seafloor to
influence the development of contourite features in northern part of the South China Sea …

Southern Taiwan and its offshore area lie in the region where the Luzon volcanic arc initially
collides with the rifted China continental margin. Because of the incipient arc-continent …

There has been a controversial debate about the roles of diapiric folding versus fault‐related
folding in mud‐cored anticlines. This study tackles this debate by looking into the structural …
