J.C. Santamarina William F. Waite 2008 <p>A wide range of particle and pore scale phenomena, often coupled, determines the macro-scale response of gas-hydrate bearing sediment to changes in mechanical, thermal, or chemical conditions. Predicting this macro-scale response is critical for applications such as optimizing the production of methane from gas-hydrate deposits, or determining the role of gas hydrates in global carbon cycling and climate change.</p> application/pdf en U.S. Department of Energy Workshop summary: Physical properties of gas hydrate-bearing sediment article
