"Geology of the China Seas" represents the first
English-language synthesis of the available research into the
geology of the South and East China Seas. Among the marginal basins
worldwide, these areas have been the focus of extensive research
activities in the last three decades, and are now among the global
hot spots in hydrocarbon explorations and scientific
investigations. The region is experiencing rapid economic
development with the offshore petroleum industry providing
approximately one third of the domestic hydrocarbon production for
mainland China. Gas hydrates have been successfully recovered from
the China Seas for the first time.
Over the years, many volumes on the geology of the China Seas
have been published in Chinese. Although an increasing number of
papers in English have appeared recently, the majority deal with
local or regional paleo-environment and sedimentology, and are
scattered in different journals. This book brings together this
rich data in one resource, particularly that generated by Chinese
marine geologists and petroleum geologists, and provides the very
first synthesis of the geology off China.
The first systematic summary of the geology of the China
SeasIncludes comprehensive coverage of the South China Sea and the
East China Sea, including the Yellow Sea and Bohai GulfReviews
hundreds of Chinese publications on marine and petroleum geology
