The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...

Fire-ice is a frozen form of methane hydrate, a natural gas. As Wired explained, "Under sufficiently low temperatures and high pressure, methane gas and liquid water freeze together under the ...

The period between gas release events (repeat time ... tonnes of methane — the largest pulses expected from either methane hydrates or hydrothermal vents — could only extend methane residence ...

A new discovery of methane leaks in Antarctica could be a game-changer and potential near-term threat that’s difficult to ...

Flammable ice, also known as methane hydrate, is a resource that consists of methane molecules trapped within a lattice of ice. This unconventional natural gas source has garnered interest due to its ...

The methane—normally frozen at great pressure as gas hydrates embedded within subterranean rock—can become dislodged and transform into gaseous bubbles expanding geometrically as they explode ...

Gas hydrate is just natural gas — methane — that has mixed with water and become ice. It falls under the head ‘unconventional hydrocarbons’, along with coal bed methane. Gas hydrates are ...

"Titan is a natural laboratory to study how the greenhouse gas methane warms and cycles through the atmosphere," Schurmeier explained. "Earth's methane clathrate hydrates, found in the permafrost ...

called methane hydrates, into methane gas and water. "We knew that something was causing the methane hydrate layer to decompose," Morgado said. To figure out how all these factors were connected ...
