The USGS Gas Hydrates Project analyzes the sediments that make up gas hydrate reservoirs in the Physical Properties Laboratory and manages the standalone Hydrate Pressure Core Analysis Laboratory (HyPrCAL) at the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC) to study hydrate-bearing sediments in support of energy resources and geohazards research.
Stephen C Phillips, PhD
Steve Phillips is fascinated by gas hydrate systems and early diagenesis in marine sediments. He aims to better understand these systems by integrating sedimentology, geochemistry, and physical property measurements as part of multidisciplinary scientific drilling expeditions. He has worked in the Gulf of Mexico, Bay of Bengal, Cascadia Margin, and offshore Japan.
