      Tectonic settings play a large role in the development of fluid flow pathways for gas migrating through sedimentary strata. Many gas hydrate systems worldwide are located on either passive continental margins, in large contourite deposits on the slopes of passive continental margins or on subduction margins. The Svyatogor Ridge, however, located at the northwestern flank of the Knipovich Ridge and ...
    • Gas hydrate dissociation off Svalbard induced by isostatic rebound rather than global warming 

      Wallmann, Klaus; Riedel, M.; Hong, Wei-Li; Patton, Henry; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd; Pape, T.; Hsu, C.W.; Schmidt, C.; Johnson, Joel E.; Torres, M.E.; Andreassen, Karin; Berndt, C.; Bohrmann, G (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-08)
      Methane seepage from the upper continental slopes of Western Svalbard has previously been attributed to gas hydrate dissociation induced by anthropogenic warming of ambient bottom waters. Here we show that sediment cores drilled off Prins Karls Foreland contain freshwater from dissociating hydrates. However, our modeling indicates that the observed pore water freshening began around 8 ka BP when ...
