Methane gas release from the Storegga submarine landslide linked to earlyHolocene climate change: a speculative hypothesis
The 3000 km 3 Storegga submarine landslide occurred c. 8150 years ago from an area rich in gas hydrates off the western coast of Norway. A synchronous increase of 80—100 ppb in atmospheric methane concentrations is recorded in the Greenland GRIP ice core. This increase is hypothesized to reflect met...
