“…The plumes occur in regions that today fall outside of the temperature-pressure conditions for the stability field of methane hydrates. However, episodic plume activity is observed within deeper waters (1200 m) and above a gas hydrate reservoir in an active methane venting province offshore NW-Svalbard (Hustoft et al 2009a). The fact that the gas hydrate outcrop zones of the largest gas hydrate provinces in Europe are on the Norwegian-Barents-Svalbard (NBS) margins makes the U.S. Atlantic margin-Norwegian Atlantic margins response of gas hydrate fields to post-glacial climate conditions particularly important for studies of submarine slope failures, gas blowouts or geohazards in general (e.g.…”

“…The presence of contourites at the western Svalbard margin has been reported in various studies (e.g. Eiken and Hinz 1993;Hustoft et al 2009;Petersen et al 2010). Based on mineralogical data from ODP sites 908 and 909 in the Fram Strait (Fig.…”

“…Seismic activity and warming can make gas hydrate unstable and result in large releases of greenhouse gases that add positive feedback to global warming. Around Europe, this can occur in the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Gulf of Cadiz, the Nordic Sea and Arctic sites (Bohrmann et al 2003, Woodside et al 2006, Lykousis et al 2009, Westbrook et al 2009, Hustoft et al, 2009. The study of earthquake-related fluid-fault processes helps to gain more insight into gas emissions, seismic activity and oceanic warming (Etiope and Favali 2004).…”
