Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is produced in marine environments through biological processes, particularly in areas known as cold seeps and coastal wetlands. Recent research has focused on ...

The research facility of cold-seep ecosystem, a megaproject whose launch was recently announced in South China's Guangdong ...

Methane emissions from Arctic wetlands, permafrost, and geological seeps are well known. However, until now, the role of glacial meltwater in mobilising methane had been largely overlooked.

The Research Facility of Cold-seep Ecosystems, led by the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology under the Chinese Academy ...

This is where China's deep-sea space station comes into the picture. To be built over 6,500 feet below sea level, the station ...

Scientists will be able to work for up to a month in the facility that will be anchored 2,000 metres below the surface.

The work is published in the journal Biogeosciences. Methane emissions from Arctic wetlands, permafrost, and geological seeps are well known. However, until now, the role of glacial meltwater in ...
