TY - JOUR T1 - Increased continental-margin slumping frequency during sea-level lowstands above gas hydrate-bearing sediments JF - Geology Y1 - 1996 A1 - Paull, C. K. A1 - Buelow, W. J.

AB - We present C-14 data on sediment samples from cores of the upper 7 m of the sediment column overlying a major continental-rise gas hydrate field on the southern Carolina Rise and inner Blake Ridge offshore the southeastern United States. The data show that glacial-age sediments are underrepresented in the cores. The observation is consistent with a previously predicted association between sea-level lowstands and increased frequency of sea-floor slumping on continental margins containing gas hydrates.
