TL;DR: Findings of a much broader seepage area extending from 74° to 79° are reported, where more than a thousand gas discharge sites were imaged as acoustic flares, and it is postulate that the gas ascends along this fracture zone.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed study of a subregion of this area, which covers an active gas ebullition area of 175 km2 characterized by 10 gas flares reaching from the seafloor at ~245 m up to 50 m water depth, was conducted to identify the fate of the released gas due to dissolution of methane from gas bubbles and subsequent mixing, transport and microbial oxidation.

TL;DR: Mau et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the down current surface water at 79 stations in a 280 km 2 study area and found that only 1% of the dissolved methane originating from Coal Oil Point entered the atmosphere within the study area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated four mud extrusions along the erosive subduction zone off Costa Rica and estimated the amount of methane emissions from these structures using two independent approaches, one based on the CH4 that becomes anaerobically oxidized in the sediment beneath areas covered by chemosynthetic communities, which ranges from 104 to 105 mol yr−1.

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of radio-tracer-based incubation assays, stable C-CH4 isotope measurements, and molecular tools (16S rRNA gene Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) fingerprinting, pmoA- and mxaF gene analyses) were used to investigate the bacterially mediated aerobic methane oxidation (MOx) in the Arctic fjord Storfjorden (Svalbard).
