Scientists from AIST, JOGMEC, Georgia Tech, and the USGS prepare to analyze pressure cores as part of a multi-year gas hydrates research project in Japan.

A ball valve is in the process of being opened, which allows a core to be moved under pressure from a storage chamber (foreground) into the US IPTC test device (background).
