Abstract

CAGE investigates methane release, a greenhouse gas far stronger than CO2, from the Arctic seafloor. Vast amounts of methane are trapped at shallow depths below the seafloor as gas hydrates, ice-like mixtures of gas and water. Current ocean warming makes these shallow greenhouse gas reservoirs particularly vulnerable to thawing. CAGE investigates the implications of this to the Arctic climate and environment.
