@ 1980, by the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, Inc. Methane addition to an arctic lake in winter
The possible USC of buried pipelines to transport natural gas (-99 % methane) through the Canadian arctic prompted us to study some of the dynamics of methane metabolism in an arctic lake at 63”38’N lat. The two basins of the lake were separated during winter 1977-1978 by a curtain and 300 kg of met...
