Gas hydrates are a significant potential energy source occurring in
ocean-floor sediments at water depths greater than 500 meters and
beneath Arctic permafrost. The USGS operates a gas hydrates laboratory
on its Menlo Park campus. This video features USGS geophysicists Laura
Stern and Steve Kirby who relate details on how they study and create
gas hydrates in their super-cooled lab. Work in the lab is funded by the
U.S. Department of Energy and by the USGS Gas Hydrates Project.
