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

Natural gas (NG) is a naturally gaseous hydrocarbon mixture that is formed under the earth's
surface. NG is considered to be the cleanest fossil fuel and is a safe source of energy when …

Natural gas hydrates (NGHs), which extensively exist in sea-floor and permafrost regions,
are considered as an alternative energy in the future for the fossil fuels approaching …

Atmospheric methane plays a major role in controlling climate, yet contemporary methane
trends (1982–2017) have defied explanation with numerous, often conflicting, hypotheses …

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 …

Organic-inorganic interactions regulate the dynamics of hydrocarbons, water, minerals,
CO2, and H2 in thermal rocks, yet their initiation remains debated. To address this, we …

Methane is the second strongest anthropogenic greenhouse gas and its atmospheric
burden has more than doubled since 1850. Methane concentrations stabilized in the early …

Microbial life inhabits deeply buried marine sediments, but the extent of this vast ecosystem
remains poorly constrained. Here we provide evidence for the existence of microbial …
