Methane is a pivotal component of the global carbon cycle. It acts both as a potent
greenhouse gas and a vital energy source. While the microbial cycling of methane in …

Methane trapped in marine sediments surrounding continental margins can be driven by
tectonic stress to escape into the oceans. What geological processes control their spatial …

Hydrocarbon gas emissions from with decommissioned wells are an underreported source
of greenhouse gas emissions in oil and gas provinces. The associated emissions may partly …

The ocean contains copious available natural resources and energy. Ocean in situ power
generation technology, directly harvesting energy from ocean fluids, is the crux of solving the …

Bubbles are ubiquitous in water and are unusually energy-rich in the seabed. Harvesting
energy from subsea bubbles is a viable solution to supplying energy in situ for underwater …

This multi-disciplinary study of the hydrocarbon seepage system at Tsanyao Yang Knoll
(TYK) in the southern Gulf of Mexico illustrates the amount and fate of hydrocarbons (mainly …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is an important process that regulates methane
budget in the global carbon cycle. Sulfate is traditionally regarded as the most important …

The bubble energy harvesting system can provide in-situ energy supply for the subsea
observation equipment through two stages of energy conversion. However, the conversion …

Modern observations and geological records suggest that anthropogenic ocean warming
could destabilise marine methane hydrate, resulting in methane release from the seafloor to …

Understanding the modern marine methane processes, which can profoundly affect global
climate and have far-reaching impacts on human living environments, is critical for research …
