Methane bubbling from Siberian thaw lakes as a positive feedback to climate warming

Large uncertainties in the budget of atmospheric methane, an important greenhouse gas, limit the accuracy of climate change projections. Thaw lakes in North Siberia are known to emit methane, but the magnitude of these emissions remains uncertain because most methane is released through ebullition (bubbling), which is spatially and temporally variable. Here we report a new method of measuring ebullition and use it to quantify methane emissions from two thaw lakes in North Siberia. We show that…

Methane bubbling from northern lakes: present and future contributions to the global methane budget
- Environmental SciencePhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences
- 2007
This work estimates point-source ebullition for 16 lakes in Alaska and Siberia that represent several common northern lake types: glacial, alluvial floodplain, peatland and thermokarst (thaw) lakes and estimates that northern lakes are a globally significant source of atmospheric CH4.
Thawing permafrost and methane emission in Siberia: Synthesis of observations, reanalysis, and predictive modeling

It is demonstrated that by the mid-21st century methane emission in Siberian permafrost regions will increase by less than 20 Tg year−1, which is at the lower end of other estimates, and demonstrates that the feedback between thawing Siberian wetlands and the global climate has been significantly overestimated.

Abstract Streams and rivers are active processors of terrestrial carbon and significant sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. Recent studies suggest that ebullition may…
Impact of terrestrial carbon input on methane emissions from an Alaskan Arctic lake
