Gas Hydrates: Relevance to World Margin Stability and Climatic Change (Geological Society Special Publication No.137)

Gas Hydrates: Relevance to World Margin Stability and Climatic Change (Geological Society Special Publication No.137) Overviews
Natural gas hydrates occur world-wide in polar regions, usually associated with onshore and offshore permafrost, and in sediment of outer continental and insular margins. Three aspects of gas hydrates are important: their fossil fuel resource potential; their role as a submarine geohazard; and their effects on global climate change. This book focuses on slope stability and climatic issues.Also available:
