TL;DR: In this article, a newly compiled BSR distribution map suggests that gas hydrates are distributed both in the passive margin of the China continental slope and in the submarine Taiwan accretionary wedge, from water depths of 500 to over 3000 m.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the linkage between accommodation spaces of tectonic and sedimentary processes in the Gaoping Slope through seismic facies analysis, and they suggested that although filling-and-spilling is a key sedimentary process in the GSP, mass wasting events and canyon feeding processes have diversified sediment transporting mechanisms from the inner to outer slopes in the area offshore Southwest Taiwan.

TL;DR: In this paper, multi-scale reflection seismic data, from deep-penetration to high-resolution, have been analyzed and integrated with near-surface geophysical and geochemical data to investigate the structures and gas hydrate system of the Formosa Ridge offshore of southwestern Taiwan.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between mud diapirs and intraslope basin development in convergent tectonics through seismic and bathymetry data analyses is examined through two-dimensional and 3D seismic images.

TL;DR: Using multi-beam bathymetric data and reflection seismic profiles to determine canyon head locations with respect to shelf edge, five of these canyons were classified into the following three types: 1. river-connected; 2. shelf-indenting; and 3. slope-confined as mentioned in this paper.
