Formosa Ridge is one of many topographic ridges created by canyon incision into the eastern South China Sea margin. The northwestern termination of the ridge is caused by beheading of the ridge due to a westward shift of the canyon that originally formed to the eastern flank of Formosa Ridge. Below Formosa Ridge a bottom simulating reflector (BSR) exists. Its depth below sea floor coincides with the...
Introduces the composition of the deep-sea HD camera system based on MIPI interface and the performance, technical characteristics, and the application prospect of HD camera system under water in the water in geological exploration prospects.
Thirteen mud volcanoes are identified from the multibeam bathymetric data in the gas hydrate potential area of the upper Kaoping Slope, off southwest Taiwan. The heights of the mud volcanoes range from 65 m to 345 m and the size of their bases range from 680 m to 4,100 m in diameter. The slopes of the mud volcanoes are very steep (from 5.3° to 13.6°), suggesting that the mud volcanoes are fed by high-viscosity...
A Multi-Channel Seismic (MCS) data was used for imaging Bottom Simulating Reflectors (BSRs) and ocean current fine structure features across a 215 km long-offset seismic data (MGL0905-01) collected under TAIGER project in southwestern Taiwan. The MCS seismic data was collected during early April 2009 and was used to investigate both targets features across the continental slope margin which has background...
Turbidity currents are major agents of sediment transport on land, in lakes, seas and oceans. Especially, they dominate volumetrically the most significant clastic accumulations in the deep sea, and can become many of the world's most important hydrocarbon reservoirs. Recently, 6 boreholes in western Qiongdongnan Basin, South China Sea, have revealed turbidity current deposits as good reservoirs....
As the latest abrupt cold event, the study on the Younger Dryas event is important to forecast the change of future climate, especially to present global warming. So that what caused the event and how the event worldly spread is crucial to anticipate anything like that. Spatial distribution and relative timing of the Younger Dryas event are central for our understanding of causes and transferring...
