Abstract
AbstractGas seepages are often observed at the seafloor and can form cold seep systems, which are important for climate change, geohazards, and biogeochemical cycles. Many kinds of methods have been used to detect gas seepages, e.g., video imaging, active acoustic, passive acoustic, and direct gas sampling. In this chapter, we introduce the characteristics of these methods and show their applications in the South China Sea (SCS). Particle image velocimetry (PIV) technology is used here to quantitatively detect gas seepage in the northwestern SCS and visualize the seepage flow field. The gas migration mechanisms are also discussed. With the development of technologies, long-term, three-dimensional, and comprehensive observations is permitted to quantitatively characterize gas seepages, which can help us understand the formation and mechanism of gas seepages further in the future. Physical and numerical simulations of gas migration and geohazard processes would also be helpful in the future for understanding the fate of gas seepages.
