Extremely High Methane Concentration in Bottom Water and Cored Sediments from Offshore Southwestern Taiwan

Extremely High Methane Concentration in Bottom Water and Cored Sediments from Offshore Southwestern Taiwan

It has been found that Bottom Simulating Reflections (BSRs), which infer the existence of potential gas hydrates underneath seafloor sediments, are widely distributed in offshore southwestern Taiwan. Fluids and gases derived from dissociation of gas hydrates, which are typically methane enriched, af...
