Assessment of electromagnetic methods predicts gas hydrate deposits in Arctic permafrost, suggesting new exploration pathways.

The aim is to explore the potential of electromagnetic methods for gas hydrate assessments in Arctic regions.
Integrated electromagnetic sounding, drilling, and well-log data were used.
Analysis of resistivity contrasts to map permafrost thickness.
Identification of diagnostic signs for gas hydrate accumulations.
Mapped permafrost thickness with sharp resistivity contrasts from 500–600 to 5–20 Ω·m.
Discovered increased icy permafrost zones indicative of gas trap mechanisms.
Identified stability zones with elevated resistivity (∼30 Ω·m) amidst conductive frozen rocks.

Misyurkeeva et al. (2026) studied this question.
