Dear Colleague,
We would like to draw your attention to the following special session at
this year's AGU Fall Meeting:
C 02: Intrapermafrost Gas Hydrates and Their Relationship to Geohazard
and Global Climate Change
Session Description:
Gas hydrates are known to be widespread in arctic environments in
association with deep permafrost. Recent studies have shown that they
may be sensitive to climate warming and play a role releasing methane
from degrading permafrost landscapes. This session will allow for
multidisciplinary presentations on the geology, geochemistry,
microbiology, and geomechanics of gas hydrates and free gas within
permafrost regions.
