In the process of offshore natural gas extraction, natural gas hydrates tend to form within the wellbore. This secondary hydrate formation can potentially cause severe blockages. Current prediction methods primarily rely on temperature–pressure curves, which often overlook the critical effects of high-velocity fluid flow, particularly the impact and drag forces acting on the hydrates. To address this limitation, this study pro...

Global hydroclimatic variability is increasing with more frequent extreme dry and wet years, severely destabilizing terrestrial ecosystem productivity. However, what regulates the consequence of precipitation extremes on productivity remains unclear. Based on a 9‐year field manipulation experiment on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, we found that the responses of gross primary productivity (GPP) to extreme drought and wetness were...

Shallow gas reservoirs play a crucial role in the gas hydrate system. However, the factors influencing their distribution and their relationship with the gas hydrate system remain poorly understood. In this study, we utilize three-dimensional seismic data to show the fluid pathways and shallow gas reservoirs within the gas hydrate system in the Qiongdongnan Basin. From the deep to the shallow sections, four types of fluid path...
