Maps showing the lateral variations in extension in A) the total crust, B) lower crust and C) upper crust based on the seismic profiles shown as black lines. C) shows the upper crustal extension with the same color scale as the lower and total crustal maps while D) shows the upper crustal extension with an enhanced color scale in order to demonstrate ...

Geochemical Characteristics of Natural Gas in the Yinggehai-Qiongdongnan Basin, South China Sea
Geochemical characteristics of natural gas in the Yinggehai-Qiongdongnan Basin were studied and analyzed based on gas component properties and carbon isotopic characteristics which were tested and collected of more than 100 samples. The gas in the Yinggehai-Qiongdongnan Basin was generally alkane gas, and all the area showed dry gas characteristics ...

Spatial variations in the effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere in Southeast Asia [PDF]
As a proxy for long-term lithospheric strength, detailed information on lateral effective elastic thickness (Te) variations can aid in understanding the distribution pattern of surface deformation and its response to long-term forces.

The variability of shelf-margin morphology and controlling factors : a case study of a northwestern South China Sea shelf-margin [PDF]
A shelf-margin from Qiongdongnan Basin, northwestern South China Sea was studied. Geometric parameters (clinoform heights, lengths, forest inclinations) and accretion rates (progradation rates and aggradation rates) were measured, shelf-edge trajectories

Gas Hydrate Occurrence Inferred from Dissolved Cl- Concentrations and delta O-18 Values of Pore Water and Dissolved Sulfate in the Shallow Sediments of the Pockmark Field in Southwestern Xisha Uplift, Northern South China Sea [PDF]
Deep-water pockmarks are frequently accompanied by the occurrence of massive gas hydrates in shallow sediments. A decline in pore-water Cl-concentration and rise in delta O-18 value provide compelling evidence for the gas hydrate dissociation.

Widespread late Cenozoic increase in erosion rates across the interior of eastern Tibet constrained by detrital low-temperature thermochronometry [PDF]
New detrital low-temperature thermochronometry provides estimates of long-term erosion rates and the timing of initiation of river incision from across the interior of the Tibetan Plateau.

Provenance and evolution of East Asian large rivers recorded in the East and South China Seas: A review [PDF]
Large rivers are the arteries of continents. Those originating from the Tibetan Plateau and traversing East Asia have a relatively young history due to continuous Cenozoic perturbations.
