• Autonomous methane seep site monitoring offshore western Svalbard: hourly to seasonal variability and associated oceanographic parameters 

      Dølven, Knut Ola; Ferré, Benedicte; Silyakova, Anna; Jansson, Pär; Linke, Peter; Moser, Manuel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-18)
      Improved quantification techniques of natural sources are needed to explain variations in atmospheric methane. In polar regions, high uncertainties in current estimates of methane release from the seabed remain. We present unique 10- and 3-month time series of bottom water measurements of physical and chemical parameters from two autonomous ocean observatories deployed at separate intense seabed ...

      With the Arctic rapidly changing, the needs to observe, understand, and model the changes are essential. To support these needs, an annual cycle of observations of atmospheric properties, processes, and interactions were made while drifting with the sea ice across the central Arctic during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition from October ...
    • Reduced methane seepage from Arctic sediments during cold bottom-water conditions 

      Ferré, Benedicte; Jansson, Pär; Moser, Manuel; Serov, Pavel; Portnov, Aleksei D; Graves, Carolyn; Panieri, Giuliana; Gründger, Friederike; Berndt, Christian; Lehmann, Moritz F.; Niemann, Helge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-13)
      Large amounts of methane are trapped within gas hydrate in subseabed sediments in the Arctic Ocean, and bottom-water warming may induce the release of methane from the seafloor. Yet the effect of seasonal temperature variations on methane seepage activity remains unknown as surveys in Arctic seas are conducted mainly in summer. Here we compare the activity of cold seeps along the gas hydrate stability ...
    • Thermal state of the Guaymas Basin derived from gas hydrate bottom simulating reflections and heat flow measurements 

      Sarkar, Sudipta; Moser, Manuel; Berndt, Christian; Doll, Mechthild; Böttner, Christoph; Chi, Wu-Cheng; Klaeschen, Dirk; Galerne, Christophe; Karstens, Jens; Geilert, Sonja; Mortera-Gutierrez, C.; Hensen, Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-20)
      Seafloor heat flow provides information about the thermal evolution of the lithosphere, the magnitude and timing of volcanic activity, and hydrothermal circulation patterns. In the central Gulf of California, the Guaymas Basin is part of a young marginal spreading rift system that experiences high sedimentation (1–5 km/Myr) and widespread magmatic intrusions in the axial troughs and the off-axis ...
