Hydro-Carbon Hydrate Accumulations in the Okhotsk Sea III
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Description
We had very remarkable results from the CHAOS-1 (2003) and CHAOS-2 (2005) project; lots of gas flares in the water column, many gas venting structures on the seafloor, gas hydrate samples including massive gas hydrate chunk (about 45 cm thick) near the seafloor, and gas hydrate-related structures in deep sub-bottom depth. These results encourage us to continue and expend the CHAOS project. Since the previous expedition focused on the relatively small area where gas hydrate-related phenomena has been known to be active, the basic aim of the CHAOS-III expedition is to improve understanding on gas hydrate-related phenomena in the Sea of Okhotsk in terms of multidisciplinary areas including geology, chemistry, oceanology and biology. 1.
Detection of new gas hydrate-related structures including gas flares and gas venting structures. 2. Definition of the boundaries of the gas hydrate province 3. Mapping of the seafloor expressions related with gas hydrates and gas seepages using side-scan sonar. 4.
