Gas hydrate deposits: a primer

THE .pdf ISN'T DISPLAYING ON FIGSHARE'S PREVIEW FOR REASONS UNKNOWN. TRYING TO FIX... This graphic is a draft from an educational course I'm compiling about the Earth's natural gas reserves. It attempts to summarise what gas hydrates are and where they can be found, adn accompanies further graphics that explain the chemistry of hydrates. No attempt is made to quantify the amount of methane that might be present in these deposits globally - this is the subject of much uncertainty. Those interested in the details of resource size can refer to the sources listed in the graphic and GEA (2012). <em>Global Energy Assessment - Toward a Sustainable Future</em>. Cambridge University Press. I hope some will find this useful. Any comments, corrections and queries welcome.

由于不明原因，该PDF无法在Figshare预览界面中正常显示，目前正尝试修复该问题。本图示为我正在编撰的、关于地球天然气储量的教育课程的草稿图，旨在概述天然气水合物（gas hydrates）的定义与赋存位置，并将配合后续用于讲解水合物化学性质的图示一同使用。本图未对全球范围内此类矿床中可能赋存的甲烷储量进行量化——这一领域尚存诸多不确定性。若希望了解资源规模的详细信息，可参考图示中列出的参考文献以及GEA（2012）发布的《全球能源评估：迈向可持续未来》（Global Energy Assessment - Toward a Sustainable Future），该著作由剑桥大学出版社出版。希望本图示能对您有所助益，欢迎各位提出意见、修正建议与疑问。
