Composite results from the Alaska marine margin monograph chapter, modified from the figure by C. Ruppel and P. Hart. Red, yellow, and green lines indicate locations of seismic data lacking gas hydrate features, possibly having bottom simulating reflections (BSRs) indicative of gas hydrates, and definitely hosting BSRs, respectively.

Collecting Water Samples

USGS samples water within wetlands to understand which environmental drivers impact carbon cycle and sediment accretion. Here USGS staff (Jennifer O'Keefe Suttles) pumps water from at Phragmites wetland, Mashpee, MA, to analyze at the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Environmental Geochemistry lab.

A glass micromodel (upper left) allows fluid flow through gaps between solid cylinders (gap size of 100 micrometers is shown in the upper-right image). Injecting fine-grained materials allows us to characterize the conditions in which clogs occur, as they have done in the upper- and lower-right pictures.
