متن کاملMethane release and coastal environment in the East Siberian Arctic shelf
In this paper we present 2 years of data obtained during the late summer period (September 2003 and September 2004) for the East Siberian Arctic shelf (ESAS). According to our data, the surface layer of shelf water was supersaturated up to 2500% relative to the present average atmospheric methane content of 1.85 ppm, pointing to the rivers as a strong source of dissolved methane which comes fro...
متن کاملSulfate reduction and methane oxidation in continental margin sediments influenced by irrigation (South-East Atlantic off Namibia)
Sulfate reduction rates (SRR) and concentrations of SO4 , H2S, pyrite sulfur, total sulfur, CH4, and organic carbon were measured with high depth resolution through the entire length of the SO4 -zone and well into the CH4-zone at two continental slope stations in the eastern South Atlantic (Benguela upwelling area). The sediments were characterized by a high organic carbon content of approx. 7....
متن کاملA model of the methane cycle, permafrost, and hydrology of the Siberian continental margin
A two-dimensional model of a sediment column, with Darcy fluid flow, biological and thermal methane production, and permafrost and methane hydrate formation, is subjected to glacial–interglacial cycles in sea level, alternately exposing the continental shelf to the cold atmosphere during glacial times and immersing it in the ocean in interglacial times. The glacial cycles are followed by a “lon...
متن کاملMethane sources in arctic thermokarst lake sediments on the North Slope of Alaska.
The permafrost on the North Slope of Alaska is densely populated by shallow lakes that result from thermokarst erosion. These lakes release methane (CH4 ) derived from a combination of ancient thermogenic pools and contemporary biogenic production. Despite the potential importance of CH4 as a greenhouse gas, the contribution of biogenic CH4 production in arctic thermokarst lakes in Alaska is no...
