Submarine canyons serve as conduits to transport terrigenous detrital sediment and organic
carbon to the deep sea. Herein, we carried out a detailed analysis of the geomorphological …

The major processes that determine the distribution of methane (CH 4) in anoxic marine
sediments are methanogenesis and the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), with …

Large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, are stored in hydrates beneath the
seafloor. Sea level changes can trigger massive methane release into the ocean. It is not …

Submarine canyons are a key element of the growth of continental margin depocentres such
as the Niger Delta, the progradation of which is commonly influenced by syn-sedimentary …

This research aims to study two historical tsunamis that occurred in Taiwan during the 18th
century and to reconstruct the incidents. The 1781 Jiateng Harbor flooding, recorded by the …

Submarine canyons are commonly controlled by tectonic structures and, therefore, are key
elements of the evolution of convergent margins. The present study focuses on the Southern …

Pointer Ridge is a gas hydrate prospect on the South China Sea continental slope offshore
SW Taiwan. It is characterized by densely distributed bottom simulating reflections (BSRs) …

We have collected two shallow gas hydrate samples at two sites having different geological
settings off southwest Taiwan during the cruise MD214 in 2018. The first core site, MD18 …

We analyzed original and published seismic data to investigate the distribution and
characteristics of subsurface fluid flow features in the gas hydrate provinces along the …

Accurately imaging seismogenic structures is crucial for seismic hazard assessment. This is
especially important around the deformation front (DF) region off SW Taiwan, where seismic …
