Session ID#: 16689

Session Description:
Gas hydrates are widely distributed along the world’s continental margins and in permafrost regions. They are of great interest for their roles in global carbon cycle, climate change and slope stability, and as a potential energy resource. Hydrate formation involves the fundamental processes of methane generation, macro-scale fluid flow and methane transport, micro-scale hydrate nucleation and growth, and local geochemical and geomechanical changes. Recent advances have the potential to illuminate these fundamental processes through laboratory experiments, or flow and transport, biological and geomechanical models, or through the interpretation of field data. We welcome experimental, theoretical, or field-based contributions that illuminate the fundamental processes controlling hydrate formation in geological systems.
