Methane release from warming-induced hydrate dissociation in the West Svalbard continental margin: timing, rates, and geological controls
Hundreds of plumes of methane bubbles, first observed in 2008, emanate from an area of the seabed off West Svalbard that has become 1°C warmer over the past 30 years. The distribution of the plumes, lying close to and upslope from the present upper limit of the methane hydrate stability zone, indica...
