Groundwater springs have appeared close to Svalbard's retreating glaciers. Scientists are worried they may be adding huge amounts of methane to the atmosphere.

Scientists found that rapidly retreating Arctic glaciers are triggering the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that causes global temperatures to rise, into the atmosphere.

As the Arctic warms, shrinking glaciers are exposing bubbling groundwater springs which could provide an underestimated source of the potent greenhouse gas methane, finds new research published today ...

More research needs to be done in places home to both glaciers and permafrost to evaluate whether further melting of the Arctic's glaciers will slow down or speed up the release of methane.

It is in Svalbard, researchers say, that annual air temperatures have risen five to seven times faster than the global average and twice as fast as anywhere else in the Arctic — leading to a 30% ...

Scientists found evidence of a "feedback cycle" where the melting of Arctic glaciers leads to even faster melting as a result of ancient gases being released. Skip to main content.

Arctic melting foreshadows America's climate future 45:20. As mighty glaciers melt in the Arctic, new research finds million-year-old methane gas trapped beneath the ice is surfacing, with a ...
