Spatial Changes in Gas Transport and Sediment Stiffness Influenced by Regional Stress: Observations From Piezometer Data Along Vestnesa Ridge, Eastern Fram Strait

“…Sediment strength and free‐gas dynamics have a coupled relationship. While sediment properties control gas nucleation and migration (Boudreau et al., 2005; Johnson et al., 2002; Sills et al., 1991; Terzariol et al., 2021; Zhou & Katsman, 2022), gas exsolution/dissolution and expansion/compression (Sobkowicz & Morgenstern, 1984) may alter the properties of the host sediments (e.g., elastic and mechanical properties (Barry et al., 2010; Boudreau, 2012)), its compressibility (Blouin et al., 2019; Puzrin et al., 2011; Thomas, 1987) and its shear strength (Hight & Leroueil, 2003; Lunne et al., 2001; Sultan et al., 2012; Wheeler, 1988).…”
