New sources of methane are being discovered at an astonishing rate in the waters around Antarctica 🧊. An Earth Sciences NZ team have been using remotely operated vehicles and divers under the ice to search for new seeps, sampling sites ranging from approximately five to 240 meters deep🌊. As methane is a greenhouse gas, our scientists are investigating how these sources may be connected to our warming climate🌧️. Once considered rare, these seeps are now being recognised as a potentially widesp
