In February of 2021, scientists from the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) conducted near-shore bathymetric surveys on Cape Cod National Seashore. Bathymetry is the study of underwater depth of ocean floors or lake floors.

A glass micromodel (upper left) allows fluid flow through gaps between solid cylinders (gap size of 100 micrometers is shown in the upper-right image). Injecting fine-grained materials allows us to characterize the conditions in which clogs occur, as they have done in the upper- and lower-right pictures.

Hurricane Sandy (2012) modeling: Modeling can reveal the contributions from underlying processes individually. These images show contribution from offshore surge (change in water level) and offshore waves to maximum water levels (in meters) within a bay during a coastal storm.

The USGS Gas Hydrates Project manages the standalone Hydrate Pressure Core Analysis Laboratory (HyPrCAL) at the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC) to study hydrate-bearing sediments in support of energy resources a

Composite results from the Alaska marine margin monograph chapter, modified from the figure by C. Ruppel and P. Hart. Red, yellow, and green lines indicate locations of seismic data lacking gas hydrate features, possibly having bottom simulating reflections (BSRs) indicative of gas hydrates, and definitely hosting BSRs, respectively.

The USGS Gas Hydrates Project develops and tests new tools to address the critical knowledge gaps identified as scientists analyze hydrate-bearing pressure cores recovered during field programs.
