Scientists have found a unique geological and biological complex deep in the Greenland Sea. Methane hydrate mounds, formed by ...

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

Dynamic mounds made of methane at a depth of some 3,640 meters act like “frozen reefs” for a bizarre array of deep-sea ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden world 3.6 kilometres beneath the Greenland Sea, where methane mounds and life thrive in complete darkness. The discovery could transform climate science and ...

Scientists have discovered a thriving ecosystem around methane mounds, 3.6 kilometres beneath the Greenland Sea, challenging our understanding of life's extremes.

Beneath cold, high-pressure oceans, water and gas molecules clump together into crystalline solids called gas hydrates.

The NETL Methane Hydrate Program is designed to support the development of Methane Hydrate science and enable highly qualified graduate and postgraduate students to pursue advanced degrees and ...

Naturally occurring methane hydrate deposits are potential sources of energy. However, their observation in natural environments remains challenging. Researchers have now developed a one-dimensional ...

Warmer oceans can lead to large amounts of methane being released from the seabeds, which may amplify climate warming. A new study develops a method to understand the role of microorganisms in ...

Lurking at the bottom of the ocean is a ticking time bomb of potential climate disaster. This would-be catastrophe is fire-ice, the oxymoronic compound frozen deep under the ocean floor. As the oceans ...

TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese energy explorer said on Tuesday it extracted gas from offshore methane hydrate deposits for the first time in the world, as part of an attempt to achieve commercial ...

New research has directly shown that large reservoirs of natural ocean methane in mid-latitude regions will not be catastrophically released to the atmosphere under warming conditions. Deep below the ...
