The interaction of climate change and methane hydrates

CD Ruppel, JD Kessler - Reviews of Geophysics, 2017‏ - Wiley Online Library

sequesters significant carbon in the global system and is stable only over a range of low …

Global estimates of hydrate-bound gas in marine sediments: how much is really out there?

AV Milkov - Earth-science reviews, 2004‏ - Elsevier
It is generally assumed that oceanic gas hydrates contain a huge volume of natural gases,
mainly methane. The most widely cited estimate of global hydrate-bound gas is 21× 1015 …
