Marine Geohazard and Environmental Studies in the Southern Beaufort Sea
Principal Investigator: Côté, Michelle
Licensed Year(s): 2019 2018
Summary: The goals of this research are to ascertain the formation of marine pockmarks, which are circular depressions on the sea floor thought to have formed from the release of methane gas. The hypothesis is that these features are actively releasing gas to the atmosphere and that they are formed from degrading or thawing offshore permafrost. The research team intend to document the seabed characteris...
