Gas hydrates: relevance to world margin stability and climate change
TL;DR: Peters as discussed by the authors is a state-of-the-art reference in natural gas hydrates, marine geology, and the environment for students in all the earth science disciplines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geological controls on the Storegga gas-hydrate system of the mid-Norwegian continental margin
TL;DR: In this article, a bottom-simulating reflector (BSR) and gas hydrates are assumed to be formed by an advection of gas from the strata distinctly beneath the gas-hydrate stability zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Massive blow-out craters formed by hydrate-controlled methane expulsion from the Arctic seafloor

TL;DR: It is proposed that the thinning of the ice sheet at the end of recent glacial cycles decreased the pressure on pockets of hydrates buried in the seafloor, resulting in explosive blow-outs that created the giant craters and released large quantities of methane into the water above.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-resolution 3D-seismic data indicate focussed fluid migration pathways above polygonal fault systems of the mid-Norwegian margin
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution 3D and 2D-seismic data reveal focussed fluid flow processes through the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ) at the northern flank of the giant Storegga Slide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polygonal fault systems on the mid-Norwegian margin: A long term source for fluid flow
TL;DR: In this article, 2D and 3D seismic data from the mid-Norwegian margin show that polygonal fault systems are widespread within the fine-grained, Micene sediments of the Kai Formation that overlie the Mesozoic/Early Cenozoic rift basins.
