Journal ArticleDOI
Gas hydrate destabilization: enhanced dewatering, benthic material turnover and large methane plumes at the Cascadia convergent margin
Erwin Suess,Marta E Torres,Gerhard Bohrmann,Robert W. Collier,Jens Greinert,Peter Linke,Gregor Rehder,Anne M. Tréhu,Klaus Wallmann,Gisela Winckler,E. Zuleger +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize a newly recognized mechanism of dewatering at convergent margins, where freshening of pore waters from hydrate destabilization at depth and free gas drives fluids upward.
Journal ArticleDOI
Authigenic carbonates from the Cascadia subduction zone and their relation to gas hydrate stability
TL;DR: Authigenic carbonates are intercalated with massive gas hydrates in sediments of the Cascadia margin this paper, and two carbonate lithologies that differ in chemistry, mineralogy, and fabric make up these deposits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluid and chemical fluxes in and out of sediments hosting methane hydrate deposits on Hydrate Ridge, OR, I: Hydrological provinces
Marta E Torres,James McManus,Douglas E. Hammond,M.A. de Angelis,Katja U Heeschen,S.L. Colbert,Michael D. Tryon,Kevin M. Brown,Erwin Suess +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify three distinct active fluid regimes at Hydrate Ridge, where the bulk of the flow occurs through channels in which gas velocities reach 1 m s−1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Barite fronts in continental margin sediments: a new look at barium remobilization in the zone of sulfate reduction and formation of heavy barites in diagenetic fronts
TL;DR: In this article, micro-crystalline barites recovered by deep-sea drilling from Site 684 on the Peru margin and Site 799 in the Japan Sea are highly enriched in the heavy sulfur isotope relative to seawater (δ34S up to + 84%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional distribution of gas hydrate beneath southern Hydrate Ridge: Constraints from ODP Leg 204
Anne M. Tréhu,Philip E. Long,Marta E Torres,Gerhard Bohrmann,Frank R Rack,Timothy S. Collett,David Goldberg,Alexei V. Milkov,Michael Riedel,Peter Schultheiss,Nathan L. Bangs,Samantha R Barr,Walter S Borowski,George E. Claypool,Mark E Delwiche,Gerald R. Dickens,Eulàlia Gràcia,Gilles Guerin,Melanie Holland,Joel E. Johnson,Young-Joo Lee,C-S Liu,Xin Su,Barbara M.A. Teichert,Hitoshi Tomaru,Maarten Vanneste,Mahito Watanabe,J. L. Weinberger +27 more
TL;DR: In this article, the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ) from the seafloor to its base was sampled during Leg 204 of the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) to the accretionary complex of the Cascadia subduction zone.
