Abstract
Suitable conditions for the formation of methane hydrates exist in the bottom sediments of shallow Arctic shelves in the presence of permafrost. Salt diffusion into hydrated bottom sediments can help accelerate hydrate degradation. An analysis of the influence of salinity of the bottom sediments of the Arctic shelf on the thickness of the methane hydrate stability zone was based on mathematical modeling. Estimates of the thickness of the stability zone were obtained in experiments with various correlations which relate the hydrate dissociation temperature in the presence of aqueous solutions containing salts.
