- Gas hydrates - Fuel of the future?
This ESS Program contributes to the development of gas hydrates as an unconventional energy source, in order to ensure a secure energy supply.
- Natural gas hydrate studies in Canada
Field studies of natural gas hydrates have been carried out in Canada for many years by the Geological Survey of Canada and by a number of universities. This article describes the two largest field programs.
- Geophysical studies of marine gas hydrate in Northern Cascadia
This paper reviews the extensive geophysical studies and Ocean Drilling Project (ODP) results that have provided constraints on the occurrence, distribution, and concentration of gas hydrate and underlying free gas beneath the continental slope of the northern Cascadia subduction zone.
- Gas hydrate studies on the west coast of Vancouver Island
Deep sea gas hydrate off the west coast of Canada has been studied by seismic techniques and by Ocean Drilling Program boreholes.
- Mallik 2002
Mallik 2002 was a C$25-million international program to investigate gas hydrates, led by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). More than 100 leading scientists from Canada, Japan, the U.S., Germany and India took part in this groundbreaking research - the first of its kind in the world.
