Shallow drilling hazard assessment consists of geological/geophysical review of drill sites to
enable the avoidance or effective mitigation of problems that can affect the safe drilling of the …

Gas hydrates consist of guest gas molecules inside hydrogen-bonded water lattices. Natural
gas hydrates are found in offshore and permafrost regions. The large amounts of gas …

Natural gas-hydrates are an unconventional source of energy. Potential reserves of
hydrated gas are over 1.5× 1016 m3 and are distributed all over the earth both on the land …

Bulk properties of gas hydrate-bearing sediment strongly depend on whether hydrate forms
primarily in the pore fluid, becomes a load-bearing member of the sediment matrix, or …

Gas hydrates, potentially one of the most important energy resources for the future. Methane
gas hydrates are increasingly considered a potential energy resource. Enormous reserves …

This book is a companion to “Natural Gas Hydrate in Oceanic and Permafrost
Environments”(Max, 2000, 2003), which is the first book on gas hydrate in this series …

Seafloor pockmarks are common indicators for vertical fluid flow and frequently associated
with methane discharge through the gas-hydrate stability zone (GHSZ). The present-day flux …

Adaptive radiations present fascinating opportunities for studying the evolutionary process.
Most cases come from isolated lakes or islands, where unoccupied ecological space is filled …

Gas hydrates are ice-like crystalline solids that form from mixtures of water and light natural
gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, ethane, propane and butane. Methane was the …

Gas hydrates are a potential energy resource and hazard for drilling and infrastructure, yet
estimates of global volume vary by over three orders of magnitude. Hydrates are electrically …
