The recent warming in the Arctic is affecting a broad spectrum of physical, ecological, and
human/cultural systems that may be irreversible on century time scales and have the …

We have reviewed the available scientific literature on how natural sources and the
atmospheric fate of methane may be affected by future climate change. We discuss how …

Remobilization to the atmosphere of only a small fraction of the methane held in East
Siberian Arctic Shelf (ESAS) sediments could trigger abrupt climate warming, yet it is …

Sustained release of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere from thawing Arctic permafrost may
be a positive and significant feedback to climate warming. Atmospheric venting of CH4 from …

Methane frozen into hydrate makes up a large reservoir of potentially volatile carbon below
the sea floor and associated with permafrost soils. This reservoir intuitively seems …

This paper summarizes current understanding of the processes that determine the dynamics
of the subsea permafrost–hydrate system existing in the largest, shallowest shelf in the Arctic …

The East Siberian Arctic Shelf (ESAS), which includes the Laptev Sea, the East Siberian
Sea, and the Russian part of the Chukchi Sea, has not been considered to be a methane …

▪ Abstract The Arctic is a key part of the global climate system because the net positive
energy input to the tropics must ultimately be resolved through substantial energy losses in …

Abstract The Laptev and East Siberian Seas have been proposed as a substantial source of
methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. During summer 2014, we made unique high‐resolution …

This book provides a general survey of Geocryology, which is the study of frozen ground
called permafrost. Frozen ground is the product of cold climates as well as a variety of …
