The stability of submarine gas hydrates is largely dictated by pressure and temperature, gas
composition, and pore water salinity. However, the physical properties and surface …

Mantle Plumes and Their Record in Earth History provides a timely and comprehensive
review of the origin and history of mantle plumes throughout geologic time. The book …

Authigenic carbonates are intercalated with massive gas hydrates in sediments of the
Cascadia margin. The deposits were recovered from the uppermost 50 cm of sediments on …

An important but poorly known part of the earthquake hazard at near‐coastal cities of
western North America from southern British Columbia to northern California is from great …

Comparison of the ambient noise data recorded at near‐coastal ocean bottom and inland
seismic stations at the Oregon coast with both offshore and nearshore buoy data shows that …

This book is a companion to “Natural Gas Hydrate in Oceanic and Permafrost
Environments”(Max, 2000, 2003), which is the first book on gas hydrate in this series …

Submersible investigations of the Cascadia accretionary complex have identified localized
venting of methane gas bubbles in association with gas hydrate occurrence. Acoustic …

Cascadia subduction zone earthquakes dropped tidal marshes and low-lying forests to tidal
flat elevations 12 times in the last 6700 cal yr BP at the Coquille River estuary in …

It is of considerable importance to explore the geological structure around active faults,
especially near-surface unconsolidated layers, to estimate the faults' activity. There are …

A seismic-reflection survey on the Oregon continental margin conducted in 1989 indicates
the widespread presence of gas hydrate beneath the middle and lower slope of this …
