Geochemical and geologic factors effecting the formulation of gas hydrate: Task No. 5, Final report
The main objective of our work has been to determine the primary geochemical and geological factors controlling gas hydrate information and occurrence and particularly in the factors responsible for the generation and accumulation of methane in oceanic gas hydrates. In order to understand the interr...
