UT-GOM2-1 Hydrate Pressure Coring Expedition (Chapter 2. Expedition Methods)
This chapter documents the procedures and methods employed by the UT-GOM2-1 Expedition on the Helix D/V Q-4000 vessel; dockside at the demobilization dock, InterMoor, Port Fourchon, LA; and during subsequent limited shore-based analyses. Dockside analyses reported here include continued pressure core logging, curation, quantitative degassing, gas analysis, and mud lab activities. The limited shore-based analyses reported here include initial core scanning and core description at Ohio State University, smear slide and visual descriptions at the University of New Hampshire, and geochemical analyses at the University of Washington. All work discussed was completed between June and September 2017. Future shore-based analyses of UT GOM2-01 results will be described in separate individual publications. This expedition report is modeled after the reporting style of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). The methods used during the expedition were designed to conform to IODP protocols as much as possible.
