POLARCARB: POLAR ice sheet impacts on the CArbon cycle Revealed by enhanced Biogeochemistry capacity

Ice sheets are not just frozen wastelands. Hidden beneath them water flows through sediments and here, special microorganisms can thrive. These produce methane, a greenhouse gas far more powerful than carbon dioxide. As polar ice retreats, this methane may be released into coastal oceans and pote...
