Arctic wetlands are known emitters of the strong greenhouse gas methane (CH 4). Well-drained soils on the other hand remove methane from the atmosphere. In the Arctic and boreal biomes, well drained ...

The Arctic is warming faster than many other parts of the planet. This warming is not only melting ice and snow—it’s also affecting thousands of lakes spread across the Arctic region. These lakes are ...

The amount of methane gas escaping from the ground during the long cold period in the Arctic each year and entering Earth’s atmosphere is likely much higher than estimated by current carbon cycle ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Rapidly receding glaciers are leaving new tracts of Arctic land uncovered and causing a potent greenhouse gas to bubble out of the ...

Groundwater springs belching methane have appeared close to Svalbard's retreating glaciers. Scientists think the glaciers acted as plugs to contain methane reserves. The springs could add the potent ...

The science teepee followed us at all ten lakes, some of which we visited on multiple occasions in 2021 and 2022 (summer and winter). This was where all the methane subsampling happened. Here it ...

A string of ‘gates over the past few months — Climategate, Himalayagate, among others — have landed some hard punches on the politics of climate change science. They haven’t laid a glove on the ...

The Arctic is predicted to warm faster than anywhere else in the world this century, perhaps by as much as 7°C. These rising temperatures threaten one of the largest long-term stores of carbon on land ...

Not lava, but muds and methane are emitted from the Arctic deep-water mud volcano Haakon Mosby. When it reaches the atmosphere, methane is an aggressive greenhouse gas, 25-times more potent than ...

A recent study finds that Arctic soil methane uptake may be larger than previously thought, and that methane uptake increases under dry conditions and with availability of labile carbon substrates.
