Gas hydrates (GH) are well known to have an influential effect on the velocity and
attenuation of gas hydrate-bearing sediments (GHBS). Based on rock physics modeling …

Abstract The Ras El Ush field (Gulf of Suez, Egypt) is characterized by various complex
structural features, such as evaporite deposits and faulting. Such complex geologic setting …

As a potential major energy resource, gas hydrates are widely found in sub-oceanic
sediments and could play an important role in the future of fuels. Many studies have been …

Ocean drilling in the Nankai Trough forearc suggests a new scenario for the evolution of the
Nankai subduction zone. Continuous subduction since the Late Cretaceous has been a …

We applied automated velocity analysis to a 3D seismic data volume to obtain a high-
resolution seismic velocity model that we used to investigate the influence of fluid behavior …

Recent studies have confirmed the coexistence of gas hydrate (GH) and free gas (FG) in gas
hydrate stability zone (GHSZ). However, the acoustic properties of the coexisting sediment …

To reveal the detailed deformation structures related to plate subduction in the Nankai
Trough, we applied up‐to‐date technologies to improve our 3‐D seismic images. This …

Surface heat flow has been observed to be highly variable in the Nankai subduction margin.
This study presents an investigation of local anomalies in surface heat flows on the …

Seismic imaging of the Sanriku-Oki forearc basin in the Japan Trench plate convergent
margin provides insights into the geological controls on hydrocarbon systems in sediment …

The particle size of sediments below the seabed is a crucial factor affecting the formation
and enrichment of gas hydrates. Apart from the formation and enrichment law of gas hydrate …
