Hi all,
RE: Methane and oxygen levels in sea
Oxygen depletion in Arctic waters deserves some more attention. A study
by Berkeley Lab and Los Alamos National Laboratory shows that, as global
temperature increases and oceans warm, methane releases from clathrates
would over time cause depletion of
That post was impressive, Sam.
I have an 18 acre mountain lake in the North Cascades and watch each year
how it goes though an analogy of what the Huttunen paper described. The lake
has a bog at one end and is rather shallow throughout. So, it constantly
produces methane. The lake has produced
Sam, I missed one of your points, an important one. 'bubbles could form an
insulating layer in between an ice-cap and warming water underneath the
cap. Ice is warmer than sea water at that interface. An oxygen
enriched gaseous layer could help the surface biota thrive under the

very efficient.

Hi Albert,
I have actually spent some time looking at this type of system for my own
lake. I am thinking through the design engineering details and will keep
this suggestion in mind.
The use of a bubbler line has two advantage that I think will be important.
In that, being able to adjust the
Hi All,
This is a 1hr. lecture that is highly informative as to the state of
knowledge on the issue.

In dealing with vents, one possible path came to mind as I watched the
lecture. That is, accelerating methane aerobic oxidation
