Description Natural Gas Seeps - France, BGRM and SECURe 
Organisation Geological and Mining Research Bureau
Country France 
Sector Public 
PI Contribution An opportunity to investigate natural gas seeps in France arose due to the SECURe project. BGRM organised and led the fieldwork. We collected soil samples for microbial analysis for comparison to our partners gas composition and flux measurements.
Collaborator Contribution BGRM organised the fieldwork, provided background information and hosted us. They also completed measurements of gas flux and concentration.
Impact No outcomes yet. Merely an exchange of data and ongoing discussions.
