Gas hydrate in seafloor sediments: Impact on future resources and drilling safety Gas hydrate in seafloor sediments: Impact on future resources and drilling safety

Gas hydrate concentrates methane and sometimes other gases in its crystal lattice and this gas can be released intentionally creating a resource or escape accidentally forming a hazard. The densest accumulations of gas hydrate tend to occur at sites where the base of the gas hydrate stability zone (commonly the upper several hundred m of the sedimentary section) is configured to trap gas...

Sedimentary Carbon, Sulfur, and Iron Relationships in Modern and Ancient Diagenetic Environments of the Eel River Basin (U.S.A.) Sedimentary Carbon, Sulfur, and Iron Relationships in Modern and Ancient Diagenetic Environments of the Eel River Basin (U.S.A.)

Depositional and diagenetic controls on the distributions of carbon, sulfur, and iron (C-S-Fe) in modern sediments and upper Pleistocene mudrocks of the Eel River Basin (ERB), northern California continental margin, were investigated using a combination of geochemical, radioisotopic, and sedimentological methods. A mass balance based on down-core profiles of porewater and solid-phase...

Fish-community composition in Otselic River, in the vicinity of Whitney Point Lake, Broome and Cortland counties, New York, 2000 Fish-community composition in Otselic River, in the vicinity of Whitney Point Lake, Broome and Cortland counties, New York, 2000

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, has been conducting biological surveys of the inflow and outflow streams of Whitney Point Lake since the early 1980's. These surveys are made to identify possible detrimental effects as well as benefits of the reservoir and to better understand the aquatic communities in the vicinity of the lake at the present and over time. The U.S...

Evaluation of the Effects of Development on Peak-Flow Hydrographs for Collyer Brook, Maine Evaluation of the Effects of Development on Peak-Flow Hydrographs for Collyer Brook, Maine

The development of former agricultural or forested lands creates more impervious areas and drainage improvements that can increase the volume of runoff and decrease infiltration and ground-water recharge in a watershed. Drainage improvements also can improve the conveyance of runoff, decreasing the time of rise to peak flow between the start of a rainfall event and the peak surface-water...
