Notes: Calculations assume CH4 in core is in equilibrium with surrounding borehole water. Calculations also assume all CH4 was released at 0°C when in fact a portion of CH4 was released during warming from 0°C to 15°C. * = runs where the PCS was configured to collect a water sample only, no core was taken.
