|a Methane hydrate is an icelike substance that is stable at high pressure and low temperature in
continental margin sediments. Since the discovery of a large number of gas flares at the landward
termination of the gas hydrate stability zone off Svalbard, there has been concern that warming
bottom waters have started to dissociate large amounts of gas hydrate and that the resulting
methane release may possibly accelerate global warming. Here, we corroborate that hydrates play
a role in the observed seepage of gas, but we present evidence that seepage off Svalbard has been
ongoing for at least 3000 years and that seasonal fluctuations of 1° to 2°C in the bottom-water
temperature cause periodic gas hydrate formation and dissociation, which focus seepage at the
observed sites. |
