Geochemical processes associated with gas hydrate formation lead to the growth of iron sulphides which have a geophysically-measurable magnetic signature. Detailed magnetic investigation, complemented by petrological observations, were undertaken on cores from a permafrost setting, the Mackenzie Del...
