Nearly 3.7 kilometers beneath the Greenland Sea, scientists have stumbled on a hidden landscape of icy methane and dense ...

Nearly 12,000 feet beneath the Greenland Sea, in darkness and crushing pressure, the Freya Hydrate Mounds are quietly ...

Scientists discovered deep Arctic methane mounds that release gas, shape ecosystems, and inform climate risks.

Gas hydrates, a form of natural gas that forms when methane from the decomposition of organic material comes into contact with water at low temperatures and high pressures, could play a role — even if ...

Natural gas-hydrates—crystalline compounds of gas molecules—are found in permafrost and marine sediments. While these gas hydrates can be used as alternative energy resources, they also pose a danger ...

Far north in the Fram Strait, scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway, working with colleagues including the ...

A reserve of natural gas bubbling from a cage of ice discovered on the ocean floor to the west of Greenland may be the ...

Learn how the deepest gas hydrate cold seep ever found in the Arctic is revealing how methane moves — and sustains life — far ...

THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY (USGS), which is involved in natural gas hydrate (NGH) research in India and Japan, has assisted the Indian Oil Ministry in discovering highly enriched ...

Huge amounts of methane are locked up in deposits that lie deep beneath the sea floor. New seismic images reveal that these deposits possess unexpected features that might affect their stability. Gas ...

Like avalanches onshore, there are different processes that cause submarine landslides. One very widespread assumption is that they are associated with dissociating gas hydrates in the seafloor.
