Gas hydrate potential of the mid Atlantic outer continental shelf Gas hydrate potential of the mid Atlantic outer continental shelf
For the last two years, the Minerals Management Service (MMS) has been studying the resource potential of gas hydrates in federal offshore lands of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) off the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Pacific, and Alaska in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the...

Cruise Report for G1-03-GM, USGS Gas Hydrates Cruise, R/V Gyre, 1-14 May 2003, Northern Gulf of Mexico Cruise Report for G1-03-GM, USGS Gas Hydrates Cruise, R/V Gyre, 1-14 May 2003, Northern Gulf of Mexico
This report gives a summary of the field program and instrumentation used on the R/V Gyre in the Gulf of Mexico in May, 2003, to collect multichannel seismic data in support of USGS and Department of Energy gas hydrate studies. Tabulated statistics, metadata, figures and maps are included to show the breadth of data collected and preliminary interpretations made during the field program

A preliminary assessment of geologic framework and sediment thickness studies relevant to prospective US submission on extended continental shelf A preliminary assessment of geologic framework and sediment thickness studies relevant to prospective US submission on extended continental shelf
Under the provisions of Articles 76 and 77 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), coastal States have sovereign rights over the continental shelf territory beyond 200-nautical mile (nm) from the baseline from which the territorial sea is measured if certain conditions are met regarding the geologic and physiographic character of the legal continental shelf as...

Strategic vision for the U. S. Geological Survey in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Region, 2001-2010 Strategic vision for the U. S. Geological Survey in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Region, 2001-2010
The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) strategic vision for the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Region is that of a healthy ecosystem, whose ecological integrity and economic health are nurtured and sustained through sound resource-management decisions based on reliable, timely, and objective scientific information and data. The USGS is a leader in providing reliable, relevant, timely, and...

Seismic expression of the Chesapeake Bay impact crater: Structural and morphologic refinements based on new seismic data Seismic expression of the Chesapeake Bay impact crater: Structural and morphologic refinements based on new seismic data
This work refines previous interpretations of the structure and morphology of the Chesapeake Bay impact crater on the basis of more than 1,200 km of multichannel and single-channel seismic reflection profiles collected in the bay and on the adjacent continental shelf. The outer rim, formed in sedimentary rocks, is irregularly circular, with an average diameter of ~85 km. A 20–25-km-wide...

Faulting of gas-hydrate-bearing marine sediments - contribution to permeability Faulting of gas-hydrate-bearing marine sediments - contribution to permeability
Extensive faulting is observed in sediments containing high concentrations of methane hydrate off the southeastern coast of the United States. Faults that break the sea floor show evidence of both extension and shortening; mud diapirs are also present. The zone of recent faulting apparently extends from the ocean floor down to the base of gas-hydrate stability. We infer that the faulting...

Seismic reflection profile of the Blake Ridge near sites 994, 995, and 997 Seismic reflection profile of the Blake Ridge near sites 994, 995, and 997
Seismic reflection profiles near Sites 994, 995, and 997 were collected with seismic sources that provide maximum resolution with adequate power to image the zone of gas hydrate stability and the region direction beneath it. The overall structure of the sediment drift deposit that constitutes the Blake Ridge consists of southwestward-dipping strata. These strata are approximately...

Seismic images of a tectonic subdivision of the Greenville Orogen beneath lakes Ontario and Erie Seismic images of a tectonic subdivision of the Greenville Orogen beneath lakes Ontario and Erie
New seismic data from marine air-gun and Vibroseis profiles in Lake Ontario and Lake Erie provide images of subhorizontal Phanerozoic sediments underlain by a remarkable series of easterly dipping reflections that extends from the crystalline basement to the lower crust. These reflections are interpreted as structural features of crustal-scale subdivisions within the Grenville Orogen...
