Beschreibung:

Seismic reflection data document for the first time the existence of a BSR in a limited area west of the Dnieper Canyon in the northwestern Black Sea. Seismic wide-angle data suggest that gas hydrates occupy in average 15 ± 2% of the pore space in a zone of 100 m in thickness. A conservative quantification of the amount of methane associated with this gas hydrate occurrence is about 12 ± 3×1011 m3 (0.6 ± 0.2 Gt of methane carbon). Conductive heat flow deduced from the BSR depth is in the range of 21 ± 6 to 55 ± 15 mW m-2. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
