#Methane time bomb? No!

"It should be highlighted that the destabilization of methane hydrates and the release of that methane to the overlying ocean does not necessarily mean that methane will vent to the atmosphere catastrophically.” The gas release could be significant over geologic timescales, Kessler says, but slow compared to humanity’s rapid, extensive release of greenhouse gases."

Don’t Worry, It’s Just ‘Fire Ice’

Methane hydrate is an ice-like substance you can set on fire. Now scientists have found that more of it may be in danger of melting—and releasing powerful greenhouse gas—than previously realized.

Help ?? 🙏🏼
I'm fiddling with data from the World Ocean Database #WOD . It appears that old Russian cruises from the 60s to 80s always added "bottom depth" to their data records, a useful info for what I'm trying to figure out – temperature evolution over Arctic #methane #clathrates.
But usually nowadays, the info is missing.
Do you know a source, eg netCDF for ocean bottom depth (in the Arctic) from which I could export and then match depth in metres to the geogr. coordinates in my WOD data?💐
Le mystére du méthane sur Mars a-t-il été résolu ?

Il y a quelques années, du méthane a été détecté sur Mars pour la première fois. Provient-il d’une source biologique ou géologique ? Les chercheurs n’ont toujours pas la réponse. Mais il...
