Abstract
Far beneath the ocean surface, vast quantities of methane percolate through the Earth's crust, following fractures and fissures into the shallow subsurface and frequently into the depths of the sea. These features are marine methane seeps, important components of the planet's climate regulation system. Methane moving through these seeps derives from the breakdown of larger organic molecules nestled within the crust and from closer-range biological production.
