I've finally managed to log in. Jolly good. Well, like I say, methane growth is currently ~0.6%/yr, taking only the last 2 years. Take the last 10 years and it is 1/4 of that. So observations don't support the idea of rapidly rising methane levels. Who knows - they might in the future. But they haven't yet. Ah! I’ve finally managed to log in. Jolly good.

But I'm happy with what I can get and there's plenty of free stuff such as: The Storegga Landslides @ Surburban Emergency Management Project. www.semp.us/publications/biot_reader.php?BiotID=301-18k I think this is one of the articles I stumbled across a year or so ago...there's another one but it's eluding me... I keep wondering if these Beaufort Sea pingo-like features are a prelude to an methane eruption from the sea floor. And do these things exist in Siberian waters?

I can include references here if you're able to access academic journals. If not, email me privately and I'll forward you a couple of key papers. cheers Tom,

Katey Walter's video answered one question I had about the methane process. That is: What happens during the winter, does it go dormant...no it does not. I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment, so I haven't been able to follow all your links yet and the links might cover my following question. Have you heard of the "pingo like features" on the Beaufort Sea floor? First up on a Google search and I got an article by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute which gives a good description of them. Also, a while back I read about odd underwater "craters" off the coast of Norway. The article about these "craters" speculated that they were ancient methane eruptions. I'm not sure if I read that in one of my books or on the net, but I'll try to find it. With my search skills it might take a while though... This is my greatest fear…
