Surprising methane discovery in Yukon glaciers: ‘Much more widespread than we thought’

Global melting is prying the lid off methane stocks, the extent of which we do not know. A researcher has now discovered high concentrations of the powerful greenhouse gas in meltwater from three Canadian mountain glaciers, where it was not thought to exist — adding new unknowns to the understanding of methane emissions from Earth’s glaciated regions.
