Ship traffic in shallow areas, such as ports, can trigger large methane emissions by just moving through the water.
Scientists discovered three new species of sea spiders that live near the ocean floor and feast on bacteria that convert ...
Biology professor Shana Goffredi calls these new curious creatures “extremely adorable” — although arachnophobes may disagree.
These plants then release methane gas, which rise to the surface and begins to freeze. A photo taken by Kristina Makeeva shows frozen methane bubbles in Lake Baikal.
Just like you would eat eggs for breakfast, the sea spider grazes the surface of its body, and it munches all those bacteria for nutrition,” said Shana Goffredi, a professor and chair of biology at ...
The wake of ships generates further mixing, meaning methane can quickly rise to the surface and escape into the atmosphere.
The gas bubbles were found in a 20-square-kilometre (77-square-miles) area off of Sweden’s southeastern coast. “We know that methane gas can bubble up from shallow seabeds near the Baltic Sea ...
Methane is extremely worrying. As greenhouse gases go, it is about 80 percent more potent than carbon dioxide and is responsible for about 30 percent of the global rise in temperatures. The gas is ...

The Londsort Deep leak is a powerful one, with bubbles rising over 1,200 feet from the bottom, as tracked by sonar. And they could be going all the way to the surface of the sea.. While incredibly ...
“Because methane gas is considered one of the fundamental causes of greenhouse effects,” he explains, “scientists in Alaska are researching these frozen bubbles in relation to the global ...
New report from the IEA reveals that Australia’s methane emissions are wildly underreported. The bubble’s going to pop – so why not shift to honest reporting.
