Abstract
Abstract A knowledge of gas hydrates is critical for understanding complex geological, geophysical, and biogeochemical processes and for explaining the proposed link between gas hydrate destabilization and global sea level changes. With the aim of discussing the geochemical characteristics and implications for gas hydrate accumulation, this study assesses the changes in a series of organic and inorganic geochemical gas hydrate-bearing sediments within a core section obtained at site SHC in the Shenhu Area of the northern South China Sea that range from the Late Miocene to the present. High S/C ratios (0.53–5.6) and low TOC contents (
