Researchers Find Warming Arctic Current Triggers Release of Methane from Methane Hydrate

Green Car Congress

Methane released from gas hydrate in submarine sediments has been identified in the past as an agent of climate change. The bubble plumes were detected using sonar and then sampled with a water-bottle sampling system over a range of depths. However, thirty years ago it was stable at water depths as shallow as 360 meters.
