[ES] Los hidratos de gas son substancias similares al hielo compuestas por moléculas de agua que se enlazan formando estructuras penta-hexagonales cerradas, dando lugar a cavidades entre las que quedan atrapadas moléculas de gas, principalmente metano. Son estables bajo condiciones de altas presiones y bajas temperaturas, que en el medio marino se dan a partir de unos 1.500 m de profundidad y desde la superficie del fondo hasta unos 500 m en la columna sedimentaria. Los hidratos de gas constituyen una potencial fuente de energía, influyen sobre la estabilidad de los taludes submarinos, y son un posible factor de control sobre el cambio climático y el efecto invernadero (Henriet y Mienert, 1998; Kvenvolden, 1998). Un problema para abordar su estudio es su gran inestabilidad, por lo que se están diseñando herramientas que permitan muestrear hidratos naturales manteniendo sus condiciones de presión y temperatura in-situ. Una de las iniciativas es el prototipo HYACE (“Hydrate Autoclave Core Equipment system”, Amann etal., 1998), financiado por la UE. [...]
[EN] BSR-like acoustic anomalies occur in the continental slope of the Culf of Cadiz in an area where other evidences of gas (pockmarks, acoustic blanking) also exist. These anomalies occur to 360 m water depth and 120 m deep in the sediment column and appear associated to diapir features. The Pressure/Temperature conditions calculated for the location of the BSR-like acoustic anomalies do not exactly correspond with the conditions of stability of gas hydrates, and then anomalous conditions of high pressures are suggested. It is then considered that diapiric intrusions may locally induce excess pore pressure conditions on the immediately surrounding sediments, affecting then the stability field of the gas hydrate
