Abstract

In September 1996, a collaborative experiment between the University of Victoria and the Geological Survey of Canada was carried out to investigate the marine gas hydrate layer found on the continental slope off Vancouver Island. High resolution multichannel seismic data was used to image the bottom simulating reflector (BSR), which is the base of the hydrate layer. Estimates of heat flow values were determined from the depth of the BSR. High heat flow values were observed at the flanks of topographic highs and low heat flow values were observed at the topographic highs. These indicate a channelized migration of fluids and a possible migration of BSR.
