Cryogenic Displacement and Accumulation of Biogenic Methane in Frozen Soils

Cryogenic Displacement and Accumulation of Biogenic Methane in Frozen Soils

Evidences of highly localized methane fluxes are reported from the Arctic shelf, hot spots of methane emissions in thermokarst lakes, and are believed to evolve to features like Yamal crater on land. The origin of large methane outbursts is problematic. Here we show, that the biogenic methane (13C ≤...
