Along the way, Rozell learns about Yoshikawa's fascinating life, from his boyhood in Tokyo to the youthful wanderlust that led him to push a wheeled cart across the Sahara, ski to the South Pole, and take a sailboat into the frozen reaches of the Arctic Ocean, spending a winter frozen in the ice near Barrow.

Paul I 297 IMPLICATIONS Potential Influence of Gas Hydrates on Seabed Installations Martin Hovland and Ove Tobias Gudmestad.This collection of 19 papers reviews research directions in the geochemistry of gas hydrates and related geophysics. Some of the topics are modeling the global carbon cycle with a gas hydrate capacitor, ion exclusion associated with marine gas hydrate deposits, deep-tow seismic investigations of methane hydrates, and quantitative well-log analysis of in situ natural gas hydrates. Regional studies are presented for Cascadia, the Gulf of Mexico, Blake Ridge, and Peru. The final paper evaluates the potential influence of gas hydrates on seabed installations. No index. c.
