Timescales of methane seepage on the Norwegian margin following collapse of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet

Understanding the timescales of gas hydrate dissociation and methane release are critical to gauge the potential climate impact. Here, the authors report a methane efflux chronology from five sites in Barents and Norwegian seas and show methane release coincident with the release of ice sheet-induce...

Description
Summary:Understanding the timescales of gas hydrate dissociation and methane release are critical to gauge the potential climate impact. Here, the authors report a methane efflux chronology from five sites in Barents and Norwegian seas and show methane release coincident with the release of ice sheet-induced pressure.
