Natural gas hydrate is ice‐like mixture of gas (mostly methane) and water that is widely
found in sediments along the world's continental margins and within and beneath permafrost …

This review covers the early diagenesis of the various types of deep-sea sediments. It uses
pore-water profiles as a sensitive tool to gain insight in diagenetic processes, to depict the …

Anomalous reflections in marine seismic reflection data from continental slopes are often
correlated with the base of gas hydrated sedimentary rocks. Examination of University of …

The diagenetic sequence of silica is examined in terms of several thermodynamic and
kinetic concepts. The relationship between solubility and surface area or particle size is …

Amorphous silica phases (opal-A) precipitate in nature due to the formation of dense
colloids in supersaturated alkaline aqueous solutions with low relative concentrations of …

In the modern oceans, the removal of dissolved silica from sea water is principally a
biological process carried out by diatoms, with lesser contributions from radiolaria …

Introduction to Petroleum Seismology, second edition, provides the theoretical and practical
foundation for tackling present and future challenges of petroleum seismology, especially …

Methane clathrates are stable at depths greater than about 200 m in permafrost regions and
in ocean sediments at water depths greater than about 250 m, provided bottom waters are …

In the face of increasing CO2 emissions from conventional energy (gasoline), and the
anticipated scarcity of crude oil, a worldwide effort is underway for cost-effective renewable …

The nature and origin of fluids in convergent margins can be inferred from geochemical and
isotopic studies of the venting and pore fluids, and is attempted here for the Barbados Ridge …
