A review of methane and gas hydrates in the dynamic, stratified system of the Blake Ridge region, offshore southeastern North America

WS Borowski - Chemical Geology, 2004 - Elsevier
The Blake Ridge region lies on the passive margin of southeastern North America and
contains a large amount of methane gas hydrate. The methane and methane gas hydrate …

Global inventory of methane clathrate: sensitivity to changes in the deep ocean

B Buffett, D Archer - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2004 - Elsevier
We present a mechanistic model for the distribution of methane clathrate in marine

Direct measurement of in situ methane quantities in a large gas-hydrate reservoir

GR Dickens, CK Paull, P Wallace - Nature, 1997 - nature.com
Certain gases can combine with water to form solids—gas hydrates—that are stable at high
pressures and low temperatures1, 2. Conditions appropriate for gas-hydrate formation exist …

Geological controls on the Storegga gas-hydrate system of the mid-Norwegian continental margin

S Bünz, J Mienert, C Berndt - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2003 - Elsevier

Seismic character of bottom simulating reflectors: examples from the mid-Norwegian margin

C Berndt, S Bünz, T Clayton, J Mienert… - Marine and Petroleum …, 2004 - Elsevier
Three classes of bottom simulating reflectors (BSR) cross-cut the post-breakup sediments of
the mid-Norwegian margin. The first class is caused by free gas at the base of the pressure …

Salt Diapir‐Driven Recycling of Gas Hydrate

significant role in global climate change. The mechanism by which methane is released …

Gas hydrate, fluid flow and free gas: Formation of the bottom-simulating reflector

RR Haacke, GK Westbrook, RD Hyndman - Earth and Planetary Science …, 2007 - Elsevier
Gas hydrate in continental margins is commonly indicated by a prominent bottom-simulating
