Increased methane emissions from deep osmotic and buoyant convection beneath submarine seeps as climate warms

Large methane hydrates reserves are found in mud volcanoes, but climate change may lead to methane release. Here, the authors show that methane adsorption creates overpressures leading to rapid recirculation of seawater, thus reducing the melting timescales of methane hydrates from millennia to deca...
