Abstract:
Submarine canyon is an important channel for long-distance sediment transport, and an important part of deep-water sedimentary system. The large-scale Rizhao Canyons have been discovered for the first time in 2015 in the continental slope area of the...
The influence of bioturbation on sandy reservoirs: the delta front sand of the lower Zhujiang Formation, Baiyun Depression, Zhujiang River Mouth Basin

Abstract:
Ichnofossils are well developed in clastic rock reservoirs in marine and transitional facies, which can considerably change the physical properties of the reservoir. However, this influence is not well understood, raising an important problem in the ...
Morphometric analysis of the Andaman outer shelf and upper slope—Implications for the recent slope failure events
Pachoenchoke Jintasaeranee, Anond Snidvongs
2023, 42(9): 44-52. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2154-1
Abstract:
The devastating 2004 tsunamis that hit the southwestern coast of Thailand pose a serious threat to people along the coastal zone. A major aim for the tsunami hazard prediction is better prediction of the next tsunamis and their impacts. In this paper...
Multi-proxy reconstructions of hydrological changes from continental shelf sediments in the northern South China Sea during the interval 9 200–6 200 cal a BP
Chao Huang, Xiaoxu Qu, Lihui Wang, Yuhan Xie, Yongyi Luo, Fajin Chen, Yin Yang
2023, 42(9): 53-61. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2155-0
Abstract:
Past hydroclimatic conditions in southern China are poorly constrained owing to the lack of high-resolution marine-sediment records. In this study, we present high-resolution geochemical and grain-size records of marine sediments from the coastal she...
Geological context and vents morphology in the ultramafic-hosted Tianxiu field, Carlsberg Ridge
Jin Liang, Chunhui Tao, Xiangxin Wang, Cheng Su, Wei Gao, Yadong Zhou, Weikun Xu, Xiaohe Liu, Zhongjun Ding
2023, 42(9): 62-70. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2157-y
Abstract:
The Tianxiu hydrothermal field (TXHF) located on Carlsberg Ridge is one of the few active ultramafic-hosted venting systems known in the Indian Ocean. Despite numerous investigations, there is limited understanding of its sulfide structure morphology...
Regeneration and anti-migration of sand waves associated with sand mining in the Taiwan Shoal
Jingjing Bao, Feng Cai, Chengqiang Wu, Huiquan Lu, Yongling Zheng, Yufeng Li, Li Sun, Chungeng Liu, Yongbao Li
2023, 42(9): 71-78. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2162-1
Abstract:
Sand waves in the Taiwan Shoal are characterized by two distinct spatial scales. Giant sand waves have a length of 2 kilometers with height between 5 m and 25 m, whilst small sand waves is less than 100-m long with height less than 5 m between giant ...

Distribution pattern of macrobenthic assemblages along a salinity gradient in the Hangzhou Bay and its adjacent waters
Runxuan Yan, Xiaobo Wang, Songyao Peng, Qingxi Han
2023, 42(9): 79-89. doi: 10.1007/s13131-022-2119-9
Abstract:
It is widely acknowledged that the distribution of macrobenthos is affected by salinity, but the degree of influence varies in different areas. To explore the distribution pattern of macrobenthic assemblages in the Hangzhou Bay, 12 stations were samp...
Vertical microbial profiling of water column reveals prokaryotic communities and distribution features of Antarctic Peninsula
Jiang Li, Luying Zhao, Xiaoqian Gu, Chengxuan Li, Qian Zhang, Liping Fu, Ao Zhang
2023, 42(9): 90-100. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2160-3
Abstract:
Prokaryotic diversity and community composition in the water column of eight stations (63 samples) around the Antarctic Peninsula of the Southern Ocean were investigated. Through pyrosequencing of the V3–V4 hypervariable regions of the 16S ribosomal ...
Two-stage reproduction derived from cells of thallus could directly contribute to seeds for green tidal algal Enteromorpha(Ulva) prolifera/clathrata bloom, with disclosure of their ephemeral trait
Bingxin Huang, Lanping Ding, Yao Zhang, Youxuan Guo, Junxia Liang, Yanqi Xie, Yue Chu
2023, 42(9): 101-112. doi: 10.1007/s13131-023-2158-x
Abstract:
Green tidal algal Enteromorpha species complete their life cycles by the isomorphic alternation of generations. The provenance of green tide caused by them in the western Yellow Sea has been disputed. The cell reproduction derived from adult thallus ...
