In an unexpected discovery, hundreds of gas plumes bubbling up from the seafloor were spotted during a sweeping survey of the U.S. Atlantic Coast. Even though ocean explorers have yet to test the ...

Ocean researchers have found nearly 1,000 methane seep sites along the continental shelf of the Pacific Northwest. The bubble streams could be a sign of offshore energy potential, represent a ...

Methane appears to be bubbling up from more than 500 vents on the Atlantic Ocean floor off the U.S. East Coast, according to a new study in a finding that could have profound long-term ...

Despite these hypotheses, model predictions and direct observations of the cryosphere cap, there is a dearth of field evidence for an increase in natural geologic methane seepage as a direct ...

Between North Carolina's Cape Hatteras and Massachusetts' Georges Bank, 570 methane seeps cluster in about eight regions, according to sonar and video gathered by the National Oceanographic and ...

In past trips, the scientists found the methane seeps growing year by year and summarized decades of results earlier this year in the journal Geosciences. Semiletov said so far the increasing ...

Seid said Costa Rica is known for its hot springs and volcanoes and beneath the sea the equivalent are methane seeps. This basket starfish from Costa Rican waters is found at the Benthic ...

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A team of scientists from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography is getting ready to explore the deep-sea ecosystems surrounding methane seeps off the ...

Marine biologists have discovered a new species of deep-sea worm living near a methane seep some 50 kilometers (30 miles) off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Greg Rouse, a marine biologist at UC ...

He and colleagues Grant Garven at Tufts University and Chris Peltonen at Beacon West Energy Group determined that production of oil and natural gas from the platform reduced natural methane seepage ...

Seyler said. The answer, especially about alien life forms, likely lies in the dark, and the best clues might be found at the deepest parts of the ocean near, methane seeps where the sun can't ...

If a river bed is directly above, this methane-rich gas will seep into the river. That's what happens in Queensland's Condamine River. The river rises on Mount Superbus, inland from Brisbane ...
