Gas hydrates have received considerable attention due to their important role in flow
assurance for the oil and gas industry, their extensive natural occurrence on Earth and …

Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH 4) budget is important for assessing
realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. Atmospheric emissions and concentrations of …

Gas hydrate, a frozen, naturally‐occurring, and highly‐concentrated form of methane,
sequesters significant carbon in the global system and is stable only over a range of low …

The global methane (CH 4) budget is becoming an increasingly important component for
managing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. This relevance, due to a shorter …

This chapter addresses the biogeochemical cycles of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
and nitrous oxide (N2O). The three greenhouse gases have increased in the atmosphere …

Tip** elements are components of the Earth system which may respond nonlinearly to
anthropogenic climate change by transitioning toward substantially different long‐term …

Ocean ecosystems have responded and will continue to respond to climate changes of
different rates, magnitudes, and durations (virtually certain). Human societies depend on …

Natural gas hydrate is ice‐like mixture of gas (mostly methane) and water that is widely
found in sediments along the world's continental margins and within and beneath permafrost …

The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) released its first gridded
bathymetric compilation in 1999. The IBCAO bathymetric portrayals have since supported a …

For the past three decades, discussion of naturally-occurring gas hydrates has been framed
by a series of assessments that indicate enormous global volumes of methane present …
