      The Arctic Ocean subseabed holds vast reservoirs of the potent greenhouse gas methane (CH<sub>4</sub>), often seeping into the ocean water column. In a continuously warming ocean as a result of climate change an increase of CH<sub>4</sub> seepage from the seabed is hypothesized. Today, CH<sub>4</sub> is largely retained in the water column due to the activity of methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) that ...
