A gas hydrate assessment at International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 400 drill sites was conducted using downhole logging and core data. Here, we calculate and present the base of gas hydrate stability zone at Expedition 400 drill sites in Baffin Bay, northwest Greenland. We used data from downhole logs and sediment cores from Sites U1603, U1604, U1607, and U1608 to assess hydrate and did not find evidence for the presence of hydrate. At Site U1606, only core data were acquired that showed a decrease in pore water salinity, potentially indicating the presence of hydrate; however, further confirmation was not possible due to the unavailability of downhole logging data. Because of the limitation of the acquired data at the drill sites, a further assessment to confirm the presence of hydrate was not possible. Although hydrate was not identified at any drill sites, hydrate might still be present in the region.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available July 11, 2026
