Intensive but heterogeneous and transient seepage of methane (CH4) bubbles from the seafloor exist west of Prins Karls Forland (PKF), offshore western Svalbard. The powerful greenhouse gas CH4, has 32 times higher warming potential than carbon dioxide (CO2) and if seepage of CH4 from the seafloor re...
