| Title: | Is the extent of glaciation limited by marine gas-hydrates? / Charles K. Paull, William Ussler, III, William P. Dillon. |
| Author(s): | Paull, Charles K. Ussler, William, Dillon, William P. |
| Date: | 1991. |
| In: | Geophysical Research Letters. (1991.), Vol. 18(3) (1991) |
| Abstract: | Suggests that release of methane trapped in deep-sea sediments as gas hydrates may provide negative feedback to advancing glaciation. Methane is likely to be released as sea level falls because methane gas-hydrates decompose with pressure decrease. It is likely to be released to atmosphere in spikes that become larger and more frequent as glaciation progresses. Addition of methane to atmosphere warms planet, providing negative feedback, and could trigger deglaciation. |
