A case study of the consistency problem in the inverse estimation
WEI Yanzhou, KANG Xianbiao, PEI Yuhua
2017, 36(9): 45-51. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1110-3
Abstract:
Inverse technique is a widely used method in oceanography, but it has a problem that the retrieved solutions often violate model prior assumptions. To tune the model has consistent solutions, an iteration approach, which successively utilizes the pos...

Abstract:
The Taixinan Basin is one of the most potential gas hydrate bearing areas in the South China Sea and abundant gas hydrates have been discovered during expedition in 2013. In this study, geochemical and microbial methods are combinedly used to charact...
Basin modeling in the initial stage of exploration: a case study from the North Subbasin of the South Yellow Sea Basin
PANG Yumao, ZHANG Xunhua, GUO Xingwei, XIAO Guolin, HAN Zuozhen
2017, 36(9): 65-78. doi: 10.1007/s13131-017-1112-1
Abstract:
Basin modeling has become an important tool for analyzing sedimentary basins. The North Subbasin of the South Yellow Sea Basin is filled with thick Meso-Cenozoic terrigenous deposits during the rift evolution stage. The accumulation of data and achie...
