Even though ocean explorers have yet to test the gas, the bubbles are almost certainly methane, researchers report today (Aug. 24) in the journal Nature Geoscience. "We don't know of any explanation that fits as well as methane," said lead study author Adam Skarke, a geologist at Mississippi State University in Mississippi State. While methane vents are common around the world, only three natural gas seeps — where methane escapes from seafloor sediments — had been found off the East Coast before 2012. "It was a surprise to find these features," Skarke said. "It was unexpected because many of the common things associated with methane gas do not exist on the Atlantic margin." The East Coast is a passive margin, and methane isn't expected to come out of this environment. The margin hasn't been squeezed or pulled by plate tectonic activity for tens of millions of years, and that means a lack of escape routes for methane. "I usually describe passive margins as cold, old and boring," said study co-author Carolyn Ruppel, chief of the U.S. Geological Survey gas hydrates project in Woods Hole, Massachusetts much more [link to news.yahoo.com] |

Grimsvotn still continues at 8cm southwards. I estimated around 35-40cm of rifting. That’s almost half a meter, and about 1/4th of a normal fissure eruption. This means at this rate the eruption will likely happen around 1 month after the start of the rifting event. This is around 16th September. If it continues for a few months, then we will be into a Laki or Veidivotn-like scenario. If it erupts by September then it would be similar of the scale of 1862 rifting event, or slightly larger than Krafla fires. There is a possibility that it erupts earlier, in smaller scale, when the dike reaches about 60km, as it loses intensity. Or otherwise it triggers an eruption at Askja. Or it continues for a longer time, and it triggers a caldera event at Bardarbunga. At this point, everything is possible, all options are on the table. |
