A model to trace methane from the seafloor to the atmosphere

When people picture gas leaking from the seafloor, they often imagine plumes of bubbles that make up a direct path from the seabed to the sky. The reality, however, is far more complex and far more interesting. Between the seafloor and the atmosphere lies an entire ocean of physics, chemistry, and biology that controls the fate of the released gas. In fact, typically, most methane is dissolved int ...[Read More]
