Methane Fluxes

<p>Natural methane seepage from the seafloor to the water column occurs worldwide in marine environments, from continental shelves to deep-sea basins. Depending on water depth, methane fluxes, and mixing rate of the seawater, methane may partially reach the atmosphere, where it could contribute to the global greenhouse effect. Estimates of annual marine methane fluxes are commonly calculated from hydro-acoustic data collected during single research surveys. These snapshot estimates neglect short (i.e., tide) and long (seasonal) variations.</p><p>Here we compare the seepage activity along the upper limit of the gas hydrate stability zone offshore Western Svalbard in August 2017 (bottom water temperature (BT) ~3.46°C), June 2020 (BT ~1.75°C), and November 2020 (BT ~3.96°C) using high-resolution vessel-based multibeam data. Our results complete annual methane flux estimates by Ferré et al. (2020) and confirm a significantly reduced seepage activity during the cold bottom-water conditions. We investigate short-term variation by comparing a 7.5 km long multibeam section at three phases of the lunar semidiurnal (M2) tide. We will discuss how these processes affect annual methane fluxes estimates offshore Svalbard and further Arctic methane fluxes estimates.</p><p>The research is part of the Centre for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate (CAGE) and is supported by the Research Council of Norway through its Centres of Excellence funding scheme grant No. 223259 and UiT.</p><p> </p><p>Ferré, B., Jansson, P.

Technological advances in handheld X-ray fluorescence (HHXRF) have been instrumental in demonstrating the utility of chemostratigraphic data to create higher order sequence stratigraphic interpretations. This study seeks to identify the correlation between chemostratigraphy, total organic carbon, sequence stratigraphy, and bioturbation in the Woodford Shale of south-central Oklahoma using HHXRF and X-ray diffraction technologies. The use of multiproxy correlations allows for higher confidence identifying lateral changes in the Woodford Shale. Elemental data collected through HHXRF can be used as proxies to better understand the depositional environment of a formation. Titanium, Zr, K, and Al are all proxies for transgression and regression. Silica is associated with so many different elements that Si alone does not provide useful information; however, the ratio of Si/Al coupled with detrital proxies can give information on the presence of possible algal blooms, continentally derived sediment, or hiatal surfaces. Furthermore, relationships between other elements can give further understanding to bottom-water conditions at the time of deposition. This study examines the relationships between Mo, V, Ni, and P along with other elements and laboratory-collected data to further understand the bottom-water conditions during deposition of the organic-rich muds that make up the Woodford Shale in south-central Oklahoma. To some extent, it is then possible to correlate these higher-resolution understandings to open-hole well logs to increase our understanding, where the core is unavailable.
