| Session Description |
Gas-hydrates are gaining importance because of their natural occurrences; role in climate change and most importantly potential as future major energy resource. Therefore, identification and quantification of gas-hydrates are essential for evaluating the resource potential and hazard assessment. AOGS 2008 will provide an ideal platform for the earth scientists of several Asian countries to discuss various aspects for the exploration (using geophysical, geological, geochemical and microbial methods) and exploitation of gas-hydrates and their possible impact on environment. |
