Identification of subsurface stratification and characterization of spatially varying soil
properties profiles in multiple soil layers are indispensable in geotechnical site investigation …

The destructive potential of submarine landslides for populated coastal areas and maritime
infrastructure has been described many times. However, the geological processes that can …

Soft soil sites can amplify the peak acceleration by a factor of 1.5 to 3.5 and exhibit the
filtering effect on seismic waves. This effect results in the attenuation of high frequencies …

On Earth, natural hydrates are mostly encountered in clay‐rich sediments. Yet their
formation processes in such matrices remain poorly understood. Achieving an in‐depth …

A comprehensive characterization of gas hydrate system offshore the western Black Sea
was performed through an integrated analysis of geophysical data. We detected the bottom …

Gas hydrates are considered “near-future energy resources” due to their vast existence all
around the world. Recently, China has tested gas production from methane hydrate-bearing …

Gas hydrates are naturally-occurring solid compounds of gas and water within almost all
sediment-rich continental margins. Due to the large amounts of methane stored in …

Pore water and sediment geochemistry in the western Black Sea were investigated on long
Calypso piston core samples. Using this type of coring device facilitates the recovery of the …

The marine environment has an important influence on the microscopic and macroscopic
properties of soft soils, which are different from other types of soft soils. This paper discussed …

Sediment accumulations within the Red Sea central deeps have unique genesis and
properties. We piece together available information to understand their geological setting …
