Researchers have identified a new source of methane for gas hydrates — ice-like substances found in sediment that trap methane within the crystal structure of frozen water — in the Arctic Ocean. The findings, point to a previously undiscovered, stable reservoir for methane that is ‘locked’ away from the atmosphere, where it could impact global climate change.
