The Canadian Arctic (> 60 ∘ N, 60–141 ∘ W) may undergo drastic changes if the Arctic warming trend continues. For methane ( CH 4 ), Arctic reservoirs are large and widespread, and the climate feedbacks from such changes may be potentially substantial. Current bottom-up and top-down estimates of t...
