Ebullition and storm-induced methane release from the East Siberian Arctic Shelf
Description: Vast quantities of carbon are stored in shallow Arctic reservoirs, such as submarine and terrestrial permafrost. Submarine permafrost on the East Siberian Arctic Shelf started warming several thousand years ago. Here scientists present data on the temperature of submarine permafrost on the East Siberian Arctic Shelf using measurements collected from a sediment core. [Source: Nature Geoscience]
