US Geological Survey geologists estimated large potential for—and large uncertainty about—the amount of hydrogen accumulations in the world.
Big Trail Lake is the product of a violent thermokarst event, in which permafrost thaws so rapidly that the ground collapses. The resulting craters, filled with water, represent ideal conditions ...
Arctic air is warming, causing scientists to worry that melting arctic ice and snow could also lead to a sudden permafrost thaw and release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) that forms a ...
Thermokarst lake in Alaska. Katey Walter Anthony is an Aquatic Ecosystem Ecologist and a professor at the Water and Environmental Research Center (WERC), University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Methane bubbles appear on the surface of Big Trail Lake. (NASA/Sofie Bates) There are such high levels of methane that when a lit match is held over the bubbling lake, it bursts into a larger flame.
Pricing remains the same as Alder Lake chips. The only chip receiving a price increase is the $319 Core i5-13600K, which costs $20 more than the Core i5-12600K. The $294 KF variant sees a $30 ...
Brand new lakes spewing out clouds of methane are appearing in Alaska. These so-called "thermokarst" lakes are formed when the permafrost ground layer, which usually stays frozen all year round ...
The Big Trail Lake in Fairbanks, Alaska, is one such ‘thermokarst lake’ that has come into existence over the last 50 years or so and is continuously belching bubbles filled with methane gas ...
Walter Antony is seen in a kayak on Big Trail lake in Alaska. Sofie Bates / NASA There are millions of lakes in the Arctic, but most are thousands of years old and don't give off much gas anymore ...
They presented measurements of CH4 production and cycling in Big Trail Lake, a young, actively expanding thermokarst region of rapidly degrading permafrost located in central Alaska. Thawing ...
