"Natural Gas Hydrates" Book is Published
Bill Dillon (WHFC) and Charlie Paull (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institution) are both
relieved that their AGU monograph has been published. The book was introduced at the Spring
AGU meeting in Boston: Natural Gas Hydrates: Occurrence, Distribution, and Detection,
Charles K. Paull and William P. Dillon, Editors. (AGU Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume
124, 2001, 315 pages, hardbound, ISBN# 0-87590-982-5, AGU Code GM1249825, List Price $69.00,
AGU Member Price $48.30 for those who are interested.)
The AGU review states that the book "presents the state-of-the-art on naturally occurring gas
hydrates. How do we understand the distribution of gas hydrates? Do they affect sea floor
stability? What is their role in geologic hazards? Are gas hydrates a major global fossil
carbon reservoir? Do they interact with present and past climate changes? In this diverse
collection of papers, authors study these questions, and more, and set a context in which to
understand the rapidly evolving field of gas hydrate research."
Authors include present or former members of the USGS Gas Hydrate Research Project,
Bill Dillon (WH), Keith Kvenvolden (Menlo Park), Tom Lorenson (MP), Myung Lee (Denver),
Tim Collett (D), Jeff Nealon (WH), and Mike Taylor, Becca Drury, Chris Anton, and Ingo Pecher
(all formerly with WH). The cover picture is USGS line 95-1 across the Blake Ridge, the line
along which three ODP holes were drilled to test for gas hydrate.
