The data from New Horizons revealed Pluto to be geologically diverse and dynamic Scientists say they have found evidence of dunes of frozen methane on Pluto. The research, which is published in ...

Lake Baikal, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the oldest and deepest lake on Earth. It holds over 20% of the world's ...

This would-be catastrophe is fire-ice, the oxymoronic compound frozen deep under the ocean floor. As the oceans are warming, fire-ice is slowly melting and emitting the greenhouse gas methane into ...

They believe these eruptions result from methane hydrates trapped within the frozen soil. “We’re talking about a very niche geological space,” said Ana Morgado, a chemical engineer at the ...

Ancient Antarctic ice links wildfire surges to abrupt Ice Age climate changes. Methane spikes coincided with rapid ...

So when you stab the frozen surface, it releases pockets of the gas that you can then light up. It may look like a fun party trick but there's more to this effect than meets the eye. Methane isn't ...

Scientists are pointing to the isotope ratios of frozen methane on the surfaces which are consistent with internal heating. Subsurface oceans are, therefore, possible in the Kuiper belt ...

(Image: Canva) A photographer’s dream, Abraham Lake in Alberta is famous for its frozen methane bubbles beneath the surface, creating a surreal icy landscape surrounded by towering mountains and ...

Methane hydrates occur in five geographic settings (or sectors) that must be individually evaluated to determine their susceptibility to warming climate (Figure 1). The percentages assigned to ...

Tundra thawing from climate change burps up huge amounts of previously frozen methane, accelerating the process further. Beetles are no longer killed by cold winters, so they kill millions of ...

There are also natural sources of methane that are being released faster due to global warming itself. These include the melting of permafrost, the layer of previously permanently frozen ice within ...
