Summary:

The primary goal of this project was to determine the sensitivity of seismic responses to gas hydrate and associated free gas saturation within marine sediments. The development of a model to predict the physical properties of sediments containing hydrates was required. This model was used as the basis for predicting the sensitivity of P and S wave seismic velocities and waveform amplitudes to variations in hydrate and free gas saturation. Secondary goals of the project included: assessment of the usefulness of seismic shear waves in characterizing hydrate saturation and a review of potential complications in seismic modeling procedures.
