CHARACTERIZATION OF METHANE-SEEP COMMUNITIES IN A DEEP-SEA AREA DESIGNATED FOR OIL AND NATURAL GAS EXPLOITATION OFF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

Characterization of Methane-Seep Communities in a Deep-Sea Area Designated for Oil and Natural Gas Exploitation Off Trinidad and Tobago

Exploration of the deep ocean (>200 m) is taking on added importance as human development encroaches.Despite increasing oil and natural gas exploration and exploitation, the deep ocean of Trinidad and Tobago is almost entirely unknown.The only scientific team to image the deep seafloor within the Trinidad and Tobago Exclusive Economic Zone was f

Applicability of Susceptibility Model for Rock and Loess Earthquake Landslides in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau

It is crucial to explore a suitable landslide susceptibility model with an excellent prediction capability for rapid evaluation and disaster relief in seismic regions with different lithological features.In this study, we selected two typical seismic events, the Jiuzhaigou and Minxian earthquakes, which occurred in the Alpine karst and loess region
