Gas Hydrate Formation and Dissipation Histories in the Northern Margin of Canada: Beaufort-Mackenzie and the Sverdrup Basins

<table>The depth migration of the base of the GH stability zone responding to ice sheet buildup (from 0 km to 2 km thickness) for the QEIG geothermal and climate model. It was assumed that the pressure increase is a hydrostatic one and that the effect of 1 km thick ice sheet corresponds to 1 km of a water column.</table>
