| Abstract | Hydrate Ridge has the distinction of hosting the first documented subduction-driven cold seep system that supports chemosynthetic life by Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane as well as the most widely researched methane hydrate setting at any active continental margin. Today this site is a vital node of Northeast Pacific regional long-term studies that constitute the most advanced cabled ocean network, the NSF’s Ocean Observatory Initiative. The illustrated time-line available as a poster at the 8th International Conference of Gas Hydrate in Beijing documents highlights of field studies, persons involved, themes addressed and key results published from the beginning to the present. It chronicles submersible and ROV-deployments, deep drilling operations and surface ship expeditions and reviews selected results that for the first time addressed fundamental objectives of convergent margin dewatering and gas hydrate research that still persist today. |
