Ecosystem Health

Our focus on geochemistry provides accurate ecosystem assessment of contaminant sources, overviews of source transport and confirmation of on-site degradation.

Methane Hydrates

Gas hydrates, with methane as the dominant gas, are distributed globally in deep coastal sediment. Recovery of a cubic meter of this ice-like structure from deep pressurized cold ocean sediments can result in recovery of 164 cubic meters of methane trapped in 0.8 cubic meters of ice.

Carbon Sequestration

Strategic Carbon’s thorough methane hydrate surveys have distinct synergies with carbon sequestration technologies, which trap carbon dioxide in an attempt to slow down atmospheric release and reduce potential contribution to global warming.

New Zealand Drilling Planning

Drs. Pecher and Coffin are coleaders with Dr. Lowell Stott (University of Southern California) to organize an International Ocean Discovery Plan (IODP) research expedition on the Chatham Rise off of the Eastern Coast of New Zealand, where we observed methane gas hydrate instability and gas escape that coincided with raised temperature and lowered pressure. During…
