In July 1972, the U.S. Office of Naval Research identified several
areas that it interpreted as being of interest to the U.S. Navy.
Four of these research areas were then selected for their special
importance in understanding physical processes on the ocean floor.
In some of these, a great wealth of data has accumulated over the
past two or three decades, but controversy exists in the
interpretation of the results. In others, new techniques have re
cently been devised that could lead to the collection and synthesis
of new information. There was yet a third area in which little
study had been undertaken and the results available appeared of
great potential importance. The latter subject constitutes the
title of this volume. To assess the information available and to
facilitate plans for further research in the fields of interest
that had been identified, the U.S. Office of Naval Research
sponsored four symposia. The first was held in November 1972 at the
University of California Con ference Center, Lake Arrowhead. The
title of the symposium was "Natural Gases in Marine Sediments and
Their Mode of Distribution." Twenty lectures were presented over a
three-day period. All but two participants at this symposium
subsequently submitted papers, which are published in this volume.
In addition, Dr. K.O. Emery, who did not attend the symposium,
supplied a manuscript on a topic most re levant to the subject
matter discussed."
