Please click on image for a better view. The hydrocarbon seeps, as well as other gas seeps, that are being researched produce an ice-like substance called gas hydrate.
Gas hydrate is the product of pressurized gas trapped in low temperature water crystals.
Worldwide, there is an immense amount of gas trapped in hydrate layers under the ocean. Recent research indicates that gas hydrate may be an important source of energy in the future. Absolutely the best I've ever seen. X-STAR's Full Spectrum Chirp transmits a FM pulse that linearly sweeps over a frequency range. Applications for X-STAR include search and recovery, hazard surveys, pre and post dredging, environmental site remediation, pipeline surveys, and geological studies.
