Hydrate Samples
Hydrate forms as cement in the pore spaces of sediment and has the
capacity to fill sediment pore space and reduce permeability. CH4 hydrate-cemented strata thereby act as seals for trapped free gas
A Proposed Method
Sea level rise, however, during warm periods may act to stabilize hydrates
by increasing hydrostatic pressure, thereby acting as a check on warming.
This diagram illustrates the affect sea level change has on the stability
of hydrates.
