Methane release from warming-induced hydrate dissociation in the West Svalbard continental margin: Timing, rates, and geological controls
Hundreds of plumes of methane bubbles, first observed in 2008, emanate from an area of the seabed off West Svalbard that has become 1 degrees C warmer over the past 30 years.
