Tipping elements are components of the Earth system which may respond nonlinearly to
anthropogenic climate change by transitioning toward substantially different long‐term …

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was the largest in US history,
covering more than 1,000 km of shorelines and causing losses that exceeded $50 billion …

Naturally occurring gas hydrates may contribute to a positive feedback for global warming
because they sequester large amounts of the potent greenhouse gas methane in ice-like …

Bubble dispersions in water can be observed in both wellbore or subsea piping as well as
subsea gas seepages. The hydrate risk in subsea pipelines or methane leaks from the cold …

This paper reports on a laboratory experiment that investigates the impact of ocean
turbulence on the rise velocity of bubbles released from natural seeps. To simulate the …

Methane released from seafloor seeps contributes to a number of benthic, water column,
and atmospheric processes. At seafloor seeps within the methane hydrate stability zone …

Human ocean activities are inseparable from the supply of energy. The energy contained in
the gas‐phase components dispersed in seawater is a potential universal energy source for …

Although natural gas hydrate is taken a potential energy resource, public concerns over
environmental risks associated with hydrate exploitation are also growing, especially …

According to many prognostic scenarios by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC), a scaling-up of carbon dioxide (CO 2) capture and storage (CCS) by several orders …

Hydrate-based technologies have excellent application potential in gas separation, gas
storage, transportation, and seawater desalination, etc. However, the long induction time …
