Review of the literature reveals that nature pore‐scale interactions between gas hydrates and porous media remains a matter controversy. To clarify situation, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements have been made on methane hydrate‐bearing sandstones. The samples were synthetically prepared within hydrate stability zone, at or near seafloor in Monterey Bay, California. method simulated natural deposition by flows are not thermodynamic equilibrium with surrounding earth. efficiency...

We have made direct comparisons of the dissolution and rise rates methane argon bubbles experimentally released in ocean at depths from 440 to 830 m. The were injected ROV Ventana into a box open top bottom, imaged by HDTV while free motion. vehicle was piloted upwards rate bubbles. Methane show closely similar behavior above hydrate stability field. Below that boundary (∼520 m) markedly enhanced bubble lifetimes are observed, attributed formation skin. This effect greatly increases ease...
Ocean dead zones devoid of aerobic life are likely to grow as carbon dioxide concentrations rise.
Ocean acidification poses multiple challenges for coral reefs on molecular to ecological scales, yet previous experimental studies of the impact projected CO₂ concentrations have mostly been done in aquarium systems with corals removed from their natural ecosystem and placed under artificial light seawater conditions. The Coral-Proto Free Carbon Enrichment System (CP-FOCE) uses a network sensors monitor conditions within each flume maintain pH as an offset environmental using feedback...
We compared the fluorescence (λ ex = 355 nm, λ em 450 nm) of chromophore‐containing dissolved organic matter (CDOM) determined in laboratory to that with a shipboard fluorometer and an airborne laser fluorosensor off U.S. mid‐Atlantic coast. Fluorescence was highly correlated CDOM absorption at excitation wavelength despite presence multiple sources changing contribution total C (DOC) pool, both surface waters down water column. The mean quantum yield (0.8±0.1%) fell within narrow range...
Lipid components in air masses were sampled during 1979 at Enewetak Atoll as part of the Sea‐Air Exchange Program (SEAREX). The investigation was designed to determine terrestrial and marine sources search for atmospheric transformation processes oceanic aerosols. Four particulate lipid compound classes (aliphatic hydrocarbons, fatty alcohols, acid esters, salts) all unequivocally show a vascular plant source. Their temporal trends correlate well with those other continental source...
We show that ocean acidification from fossil fuel CO 2 invasion and reduced ventilation will result in significant decreases sound absorption for frequencies lower than about 10 kHz. This effect is due to known pH‐dependent chemical relaxations the B(OH) 3 /B(OH) 4 − HCO /CO 2− systems. The scale of surface pH change today +105 ppmv atmospheric −0.12 units, resulting frequency dependant ( α = dB/km) exceeding 12%. Under reasonable projections future emissions other sources a 0.3 units or...
