UN_geophy_1.jpg Michael Riedel (GSC) and his geophysical index investigations of core samples. n.a. - n.a.
UN_geophy_2.jpg For measuring electrical resistivity of a core sample containing gas hydrate, the samples are keeping at a temperature of around -8 deg C during the test. n.a. - n.a.
UN_geophy_3.jpg First test of measuring electrical resistivity sample containing gas hydrate. After the test the sediment around the electrode probes was altered. At the contact points of the electrodes four white spots were identified indicating water-ice formation. n.a. - n.a.
UN_geophy_4.jpg During the measurement, electrical resistivity was observed to increase until a maximum value was reached after 1 hour. Resistivity remained constant for another 30 minutes until test was finished. n.a. - n.a.
UN_geophy_5.jpg This can be explained by the release and freezing of fresh water in close proximity to the electrode probes. The induced currents forced hydrate dissociation which released fresh water. This fresh water immediately froze in the vicinity of the probes. n.a. - n.a.
