Characteristics of seismic strata in the southeast Zhoushan Archipelago (East China Sea) with emphasis on shallow gas by Bing Deng, Junbing Chen

“…Shallow gas accumulations are observed through the Lower and Upper Holocene strata, presumably related to the degradation of organic matter buried in the Holocene deposits and sealed by soft muddy deposits. The presence of ultra-shallow gas-charged sediment sealed by fine-grained muddy sediment in coastal areas with frequent human disturbance suggests a high potential for sediment instability. …”
