Abstract
CAGE investigates the natural release of the greenhouse gas methane 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 warming makes these shallow Arctic greenhouse gas reservoirs particularly vulnerable to thawing. CAGE investigates the processes involved, how these affect the ecosystem, the ocean and the atmosphere, and implications for future climate and environment.
