Large quantities of methane are stored in hydrates and permafrost within shallow marine sediments in the
Arctic Ocean. These reservoirs are highly sensitive to climate warming, but the fate of methane released from
sediments is uncertain. Here, we review the principal physical and biogeochemical processes that regulate methane fluxes across the seabed, the fate of this methane in the water column, ...
