Science Daily  February 13, 2019 As volcanic activity releases heat, carbon dioxide and methane accumulating underwater and scattered across the seafloor can congeal into liquid and solid hydrates which encapsulate the reservoirs. An international team of researchers (USA – University of Southern California, Australia, Sweden) shows that the natural reservoirs are vulnerable in a warming ocean and provides proof the Earth’s climate has been affected by rapid release of geologic carbon. They focused on the Eastern Equatorial Pacific (EEP) which is a primary conduit through which the ocean releases carbon to the atmosphere. Undersea carbon gas reservoirs have been found […]
