The formation mechanism of mud diapirs and gas chimneys and their relationship with natural gas hydrates: insights from the deep-water area of Qiongdongnan Basin, northern South China Sea

TL;DR: Mud diapirs and gas chimneys are widely developed in continental slope areas, which can provide sufficient gas for hydrate formation, and they are important for finding natural gas hydrates.

Characteristics of gas chimneys and their implications on gas hydrate accumulation in the Shenhu area, northern south China sea

TL;DR: In this paper, the contribution of gas chimneys to gas hydrate accumulation was determined on the basis of high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) seismic data newly acquired in 2018, combined with well logging data acquired during the 2007 and 2015 expeditions.

Clathrate hydrates of natural gases

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the properties of hydrates and ice with those of natural gas and showed the effect of thermodynamic inhibitors on the formation of hydrate formation and dissolution process.

Propagating extrusion tectonics in Asia: New insights from simple experiments with plasticine

TL;DR: In this paper, plane indentation experiments on unilaterally confined blocks of plasticine help us to understand finite intracontinental deformation and the evolution of strike-slip faulting in eastern Asia.

Tectonics of the Indonesian region

TL;DR: The plate-tectonic evolution of a region can be deduced by following the as-sumptions that subduction zones are characterized by ophiolite, melange, wildflysch, and blueschist, that intermediate and silicic calc-alkaline igneous rocks form above Benioff zones, and that truncations of orogenic belts indicate rifting as mentioned in this paper.

Updated interpretation of magnetic anomalies and seafloor spreading stages in the south China Sea: Implications for the Tertiary tectonics of Southeast Asia

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the interpretation of a new set of closely spaced marine magnetic profiles that complements previous data in the northeastern and southwestern parts of the South China Sea (Nan Hai) and confirm that seafloor spreading was asymmetric and included at least one ridge jump.
