Glacial-interglacial sedimentation control on gas seepage exemplified by Vestnesa Ridge off NW Svalbard margin
Vestnesa Ridge is built-up of thick contourites mainly deposited during the last ∼5 million years. Methane leaks from deep gas reservoirs creating pockmarks on its crest, and which have been the focus of numerous studies. Sedimentation patterns in relation to the pronounced changes in oceanography a...
