Visiting Researcher (14 Nov 2013 to 13 Nov 2014)
Visiting Researcher (15July 2015 to 14August 2015)
Research Project: Acoustical-electrical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments
P- & S- velocities and attenuation of hydrate-bearing sediments will be studied by the acoustical-electrical rig. CT images obtained in hydrate formation will be used to interpret the acoustic data.
