EROSION OF SEAFLOOR RIDGES AT THE TOP OF THE GAS HYDRATE STABILITY ZONE, HIKURANGI MARGIN, NEW ZEALAND – NEW INSIGHTS FROM RESEARCH CRUISES BETWEEN 2005 AND 2007.

EROSION OF SEAFLOOR RIDGES AT THE TOP OF THE GAS HYDRATE STABILITY ZONE, HIKURANGI MARGIN, NEW ZEALAND – NEW INSIGHTS FROM RESEARCH CRUISES BETWEEN 2005 AND 2007.

It was proposed that erosion of subsea ridges on the Hikurangi margin may be linked to a fluctuating level of the top of gas hydrate stability in the ocean. Since publication of this hypothesis, three field campaigns were conducted in the study area. Here we summarize relevant results from these...
