A new international study in Norway has identified reservoirs of methane gas leaking from groundwater springs from melting glaciers.
Bradbury says because this phenomenon occurs in areas with significant permafrost where glaciers are melting, this could also be a problem in the Canadian Arctic or the Russian Arctic.
“It takes quite a lot of heat to melt the permafrost in the soil. But the bases are retreating much faster than the melting of the permafrost.”Article content “When we think about climate change we really need to be considering these feedback cycles. What we’re doing is releasing greenhouse gases, leading to increased temperatures, which causes glacier retreat, leading to more release of greenhouse gases,” said Bradbury.
