South China SeaThree decades after the discovery of cold seep systems, various sites of hydrocarbon seepage have been found in the South China Sea (SCS). Over the past decade, these sites have become model systems for understanding the variability of hydrocarbon seepage and associated biogeochemical...
China has carried out deep-sea research to explore a cold seep in the South China Sea. It is the first time two domestically-made deep-sea submersibles, the unmanned submersible Haima (Seahorse) and manned submersible Shenhai Yongshi, have been used in a single scientific expedition. A cold...
The first cold seep carbonate in the South China Sea were recovered in 2004 (Chen et al., 2005, Suess, 2005). With the development of science and technology, manned deep sea submersibles and remotely operated vehicles were used in the cold seep exploration. Through the unremitting efforts of...
Chemical environment of cold seep carbonate formation on the northern continental slope of South China Sea: Evidence from trace and rare earth element geoc... Trace element and rare earth element (REE) concentrations in cold seep carbonates from the northern continental slope of the South China ...
In situ Raman analyses of deep-sea hydrothermal and cold seep systems (Gorda Ridge and Hydrate Ridge) The Deep Ocean Raman In Situ Spectrometer (DORISS) instrument was deployed at the Sea Cliff Hydrothermal Field and Hydrate Ridge in July 2004. The first in... SN White - 《Geochemistry Geop...

Rare earth element pattern in conjunction with redox-sensitive metals retained in seep carbonates indicate whether or not they precipitated in contact with oxic bottom water or suboxic fluids; clear environmental characterization, though, currently remains inconclusive. More deeply sourced fluids as in ...
The dynamics of host-virus interactions are informed by diverse antiviral defense systems across 43 families found in 487 microbial genomes. Cold seep viruses are predicted to harbor diverse adaptive strategies to persist in this environment, including counter-defense systems, auxiliary metabolic genes, ...
[17]. In 2015, the Haima remote-operated vehicle discovered a large active cold seep site (known as Haima cold seep) on the northern continental slope of the South China Sea. Subsequent dives showed that the site consisted of at least six individual patches of communities and displayed ...
