RESULTS AND DISCUSSION<br />

To distinguish the sedimentological and geochemical indicators for the presence of <strong>gas</strong><br />

<strong>hydrate</strong>, methane and oxygen sensing data, push cores, deep seafloor images and water<br />

samples were taken from 3 sites in the SW Ulleung Basin. The sediments, pore waters,<br />

seafloor waters, and sensing data were analyzed and interpreted. Rock-Eval pyrolysis showed<br />

that the contents of TOC and T max in the core sediments are mostly higher than 1.6% and<br />

lower than 409 (Figure 2), respectively, which indicates sufficient TOC for <strong>gas</strong> <strong>hydrate</strong><br />

formation and thermal immature stage for the organic matter.<br />
