... two distinct regions having different porosity and grain size distributions. The hydrate dissociation occurred initially throughout the sample as a result of depressing the pressure below the stability pressure. This initial stage reduced the temperature to the equilibrium point, which was maintained...

... transfer, fluid flow, hydrate dissociation, and other thermodynamic processes for systems representative of segments of the Arctic Ocean margin. The model encompasses a cross section of marginal sediments from the upper extent of the hydrate stability zone down to depths beyond the expected range...
