This study evaluates the spatial and temporal variability of seepage detected in the main fjords of western Spitsbergen, Svalbard archipelago, as indirect hydrate indicators (geophysical attributes to the presence of gas or seepage) of the natural gas hydrate (NGH) distribution. While methane seepag...
