TL;DR: The synergy between warming climate and gas hydrate dissociation feeds a popular perception that global warming could drive catastrophic methane releases from the contemporary gas hydrates reservoir as mentioned in this paper, but no conclusive proof that hydrate-derived methane is reaching the atmosphere now, but more observational data and improved numerical models will better characterize the climate-hydrate synergy in the future.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new analytical formulation was proposed to solve the coupled momentum, mass, and energy equations that govern the evolution and accumulation of methane gas hydrate in marine sediments and derive expressions for the locations of the top and bottom of the hydrate stability zone, the position of actual hydrate occurrence, the timescale for hydrate accumulation in sediments, and the rate of accumulation as a function of depth in diffusive and advective end member systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of comprehensive axial compression triaxial tests were conducted at up to 1 MPa confining pressure on sand, crushed silt, precipitated silt and clay specimens with closely controlled concentrations of synthetic hydrate.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the different properties of gas hydrates as well as their formation and dissociation kinetics and then reviews the fast-growing literature reporting their role and applications in the aforementioned fields, mainly concentrating on advances during the last decade.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured compressional and shear wave velocities in fine-grained sands subjected to low confinement and monitored during formation of tetrahydrofuran hydrate.
