Marine electromagnetics for the investigation of deep water massive sulphide deposits

The global population is rising at an alarming rate, and is expected to reach 9.8 billion (UN Website, population database) by the year 2050. The demand for resources such as food, energy and metals will soar as a result. While technological advances in renewables and food production may be sufficient to satisfy future demand, maintaining… Read More Marine electromagnetics for the investigation of deep water massive sulphide deposits

First joint electromagnetic and seismic investigation of gas hydrates, offshore Svalbard

Bedanta Goswami, and colleagues from G&G and Ifremer (France) have published a new research article in Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth entitled “A joint electromagnetic and seismic study of an active pockmark within the hydrate stability field at the Vestnesa Ridge, West Svalbard margin”. Gas hydrates are ice-like crystals with a molecule of gas occupying the… Read More First joint electromagnetic and seismic investigation of gas hydrates, offshore Svalbard

Marine CSEM and seismic joint-interpretation for the characterization of methane hydrates and free gas deposits at deep-sea pockmarks

Gas hydrates are currently positioned in the centre of a ‘triple-junction interest’ from both the industry and academic point of view, due to their potential as an unconventional energy resource, geohazard to marine infrastructures and possible role in climate change. The aim of this study is to detect, quantify and characterize the distribution of methane… Read More Marine CSEM and seismic joint-interpretation for the characterization of methane hydrates and free gas deposits at deep-sea pockmarks

Strong presence by G&G Group at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) fall meeting

At the end of 2014, a number of the Geology and Geophysics Research Group made the annual migration to San Francisco for the American Geophysical Union fall meeting. With nearly 24,000 attendees, and 23,000 poster and oral presentations, AGU is the world’s largest Earth and Space science meeting, providing an excellent stage to communicate and… Read More Strong presence by G&G Group at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) fall meeting
