Mingyi Liu · University of Warwick
The work examines domestic politics and international ambitions in explanations of Chinese maritime assertiveness in the South China Sea.
Yan Huang · Political Geography
The article addresses Chinese patriotic tourism in the South China Sea as an activity connected to perceptions of maritime territory.
Rob McLaughlin · American Journal of International Law
The author argues that China manipulates legal ambiguity to pursue strategic objectives in the South China Sea. Examples include its dashed-line claims, uncertainty surrounding maritime militia status, and interference with other states’ survey and fishing activities.
Bingxu Geng, Wen Zhou et al. · Frontiers in Marine Science
The researchers combine hydrodynamic and oil-dispersion models with stochastic scenarios to estimate coastal arrival times and pollution probabilities. Their results identify wind direction as the dominant control on dispersion direction, alongside location-dependent tidal influences.
Zhong Guangjian, Feng Changmao et al. · Frontiers in Earth Science
The study combines improved seismic imaging, drilling and regional geology to examine hydrocarbon accumulation. The authors identify two potential source-rock intervals and investigate deep-fault reactivation within the basin.
Saiful Anwar Matondang, Muhammad Ricky Hardiansyah et al. · Yupa: Historical Studies Journal
The article reviews South China Sea disputes and Southeast Asian political stability. The authors argue that overlapping claims could intensify conflict without negotiation.
Stefan Talmon · Brill | Nijhoff
The author challenges the proceedings and decisions in the arbitration between the Philippines and China. The book argues that jurisdiction was absent, some submissions could not be admitted, and procedural mistakes affected the awards.
Xudong Wang, Hongxiang Guan et al. · Geosystems and Geoenvironment
The review describes large fauna at active cold seeps in the South China Sea. The authors compare them with northwest Pacific sites and discuss energy sources and microbial processes.
Fang Liu, Chaoshuai Wei et al. · Journal of Hazardous Materials
The article examines organophosphate esters in Gulf of Tonkin coastal waters in relation to river discharge and fishing.
Minggang Cai, Mengyang Liu et al. · Gondwana Research
The review addresses the transport of microplastics in the South China Sea.
Stefan Talmon · The South China Sea Arbitration
The chapter covers the history of the South China Sea arbitration.
Stefan Talmon · The South China Sea Arbitration
The chapter concerns issues extending beyond the South China Sea arbitration.
Jiaguang Xiao, Wei Wang et al. · PeerJ
The study surveys coral conditions across sites in the Paracel Islands. The authors relate varying deterioration to heatwaves, bleaching and crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks.
Chris Rahman · Routledge Handbook of Maritime Security
The author distinguishes territorial disputes, competing jurisdiction over waters and resources, and disagreements about navigation. These conflicts are presented as obstacles to strategic stability, law enforcement and ocean management.
Zhuomei Huang, Yichao Tian et al. · Geocarto International
The study combines satellite imagery and field plots to estimate mangrove biomass at Maowei Sea in the Gulf of Tonkin. The authors compare machine-learning models for ecosystem monitoring.
Qiang Xu, Peilin Wu et al. · Frontiers in Marine Science
The study tracks growth, survival and nutrition of hatchery juveniles released near reefs. The authors report commercial-size growth but substantial early mortality, potentially linked to difficulty adjusting after release.
Yihua Lyu, Zihua Zhou et al. · Coral Reefs
The article studies causes, development and consequences of the inshore South China Sea coral bleaching event named in its title.
Chen-Ju Chen · Multilateralism in Peril
The chapter discusses multilateralism within the law of the sea and what it means for the South China Sea.
Huarong Yuan, Pimao Chen et al. · Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The study compares decades of trawl surveys to assess fishery resources. The authors report substantial declines in density and quality, although deterioration slowed during the more recent period.
Peng Cheng, Yue Dong et al. · Ecological Indicators
The study surveys willingness to pay for coastal conservation among Gulf of Tonkin residents. The authors relate responses to livelihood resources and distance from protected areas.
Rebecca Strating, Joanne Wallis · Marine Policy
The article compares maritime sovereignty and territorialisation across the Pacific Islands and the South China Sea.
Shaohua Mo, Tianran Chen et al. · Science of The Total Environment
The article addresses the effect of marine heatwaves on thermal refugia of marginal reefs in the northern South China Sea.
Yuting Feng, Brandon J. Bethel et al. · Science of The Total Environment
The article examines marine heatwaves near Weizhou Island and their possible relationship to coral bleaching.
Archangela Rachel Dharmaputri, Idil Syawfi · Intermestic: Journal of International Studies
The article analyzes Japan's response to China in the South China Sea within its power-projection constraints. The authors see cooperation with the United States and Southeast Asia as external balancing.
