Summary:
he mud-volcano Haakon Mosby in the Barents sea near Norway emits yearly several hundred tons of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. A research team, coordinated by the Max-Planck-Institute in Bremen, reports on the results of a long-term observatory in NATURE Communications. They collected during 431 days data on temperature, pressure and pH and documented using a camera 25 eruptions ofContent analysis:
