Oxygen levels have dropped in hundreds of lakes in the United States and Europe over the last 40 years. And the authors said declining oxygen could lead to increased fish kills, algal blooms and methane emissions. Researchers examined the temperature and dissolved oxygen — the amount of oxygen in the water — in nearly 400 […] More
Look at these frozen pockets of methane trapped within the deepest lake on Earth. Aren’t they beautiful? These frozen bubbles of gas are truly a natural wonder, but with a deadly core. Yes, these ice orbs have a dark side: they are full of dangerous gas, that may once explode or enhance Earth changes’ phenomena. […] More
Look at the latest images and videos released by Russian scientists. They are very worrying! And the gas release does not only occur at a remote location but is a new widespread phenomenon coming from the depths of the Laptev and the East Siberian seas. The following results corroborate the preleminary data published a month […] More
A research team made a worrisome discovery off the Siberian coast. The scientists claim that frozen methane deposits in the Arctic Ocean have started to be released after determining that methane levels at the ocean’s surface were four to eight times higher than expected. These high levels of the potent greenhouse gas have been detected […] More
A team of researchers with Oregon State University has confirmed the first active leak of sea-bed methane discovered at McMurdo Sound situated in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. The methane leak at the Cinder Cones is not in a part of the ocean that has been warming; thus the reason for the leak is a mystery… And microbes behave […] More
A methane blowout in Ohio made little news in 2018… But satellite images show it was a major global event. Methane is sweeping from the ocean floor off Oregon’s coast at unprecedented rates. But the gas sometimes bursts without notice from the ground. According to a new published paper, a little-noticed 2018 methane leak at […] More
Off the coast of Washington, columns of bubbles rise from the seafloor, as if evidence of a sleeping dragon lying below. But these bubbles are methane that is squeezed out of sediment and rises up through the water. The locations where they emerge provide important clues to what will happen during a major offshore earthquake. […] More
Methane spikes to 2000 ppb in Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska Earlier this summer I began noting the troublesome spike in atmospheric methane readings from Barrow AK. Someone commented they were likely in error. Nope. These record high readings over 2000 ppb are real and part of a record spike up in Arctic methane levels this […] More
A rare concentration of methane seeps from the sea floor off the Gisborne coast is being studied to understand their role in underwater landslides. This in turn will determine the tsunami risk posed by the landslides. The seeps could be linked to slow slip events – bursts of slow tectonic plate movement that last from weeks to months. […] More
Natural gas, long touted as a cleaner burning alternative to coal, has a leakage problem. A new study has found that leaks of methane are twice as big as official tallies suggest in major cities along the U.S. eastern seaboard. The study suggests many of these fugitive leaks come from homes and businesses — and […] More
Deep-sea explorers investigating a spot 39 miles off North Carolina’s Outer Banks found a gigantic field of methane bubbling out of the seafloor. The bubbles of methane, seeping “continuously and others turning off and on over periods of less than a minute,” were discovered off Bodie Island, at a depth of about 1,300 feet. In […] More
Something dark is spreading across the surface of Titan… And we may finally have some idea what it is. Titan is Saturn’s largest moon and the only other object in our solar system besides Earth known to have liquid on its surface. Frigid seas of methane and ethane fill depressions on the moon like water fills […] More
