DFO mapping ocean floor of B.C. to prep for potential tanker spills
2014-09-06 01:43:32| Energy - Topix.net
Fisheries and Oceans Canada is looking for someone to map the ocean floor near the British Columbia coast, an area it says could be affected by spills with the expected increase in tanker traffic. The department issued a request for proposals Friday for initial steps toward mapping the inlets, islands, reefs and intertidal areas of the Haida Gwaii archipelago, and the Queen Charlotte and Johnstone straits.

Over 500 Methane Vents Found on Atlantic Ocean Floor Off US East Coast
2014-08-25 12:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: The Atlantic Ocean floor off the U.S. East Coast has over 500 methane vents, a new study has found. The study, conducted by researchers at the Mississippi State University, shows that large amount of methane leaking from the seafloor might be contributing to global warming. "It is the first time we have seen this level of seepage outside the Arctic that is not associated with features like oil or gas reservoirs or active tectonic margins," said Prof Adam Skarke from Mississippi State University,...
Hundreds of Methane Plumes Spotted on Sea Floor
2014-08-25 07:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature: Plumes of bubbles streaming from hundreds of newly discovered sea-floor seeps between North Carolina and Massachusetts are likely to contain methane and could be adding as much as 90 tonnes of the planet-warming gas to the atmosphere or overlying waters each year, research published Sunday in Nature Geoscience suggests. An estimated two-thirds of the emissions emanate from sediments at depths where methane-rich ices may be decomposing due to warming waters along the ocean bottom, the researchers...

Numerous methane leaks found on Atlantic sea floor
2014-08-24 12:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceMag: And up through the ground came a bubbling greenhouse gas. Researchers have discovered 570 plumes of methane percolating up from the sea floor off the eastern coast of the United States, a surprisingly high number of seeps in a relatively quiescent part of the ocean. The seeps suggest that methanes contribution to climate change has been underestimated in some models. And because most of the seeps lie at depths where small changes in temperature could be releasing the methane, it is possible that...
