Subduction zones serve as carbon recycling centers, where vast amassments of geologic
carbon accrete or subduct through thermogenic gas windows over millions of years. We …

Human ocean activities are inseparable from the supply of energy. The energy contained in
the gas‐phase components dispersed in seawater is a potential universal energy source for …

Sub‐seabed fluid flow, gas hydrate accumulation and seafloor methane seepage are tightly
interwoven processes with implications for marine biodiversity, ocean chemistry and …

Acoustic monitoring is an efficient technique for oil spill detection, and the development of
acoustic technology is conducive to achieving real-time monitoring of underwater oil spills …

Seafloor pockmarks are abundant around Aotearoa New Zealand, occurring across a
diverse range of tectonic, sedimentological and geomorphological settings. Globally, the …

Chemosynthetic ecosystems off Aotearoa/New Zealand comprise both hydrothermal vents
on the Kermadec Arc and methane seeps on the Hikurangi Margin which host rich …

The influence of cold seep methane on the surrounding benthos is well-documented but the
fate of dissolved methane and its impact on water column biogeochemistry remains less …

High amplitude bottom simulating reflections (BSRs) interpreted in seismic reflection data
are common proxy indicators for gas hydrates, while the spatial relationship of BSRs with …

Gas seepages are often observed at the seafloor and can form cold seep systems, which are
important for climate change, geohazards, and biogeochemical cycles. Many kinds of …

Gas hydrates deposits in the Andaman forearc basin are inferred from seismic data and
confirmed by drilling/coring during the NGHP-01 expedition. We present new evidence of …
