Subsea Methane Acoustic Detection to Quantify Greenhouse Gases
A research team from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has successfully recorded the sounds of methane being released on the seabed, just off the Pacific Northwest coast. The team, situated at Oregon State University, used a hydrophone to record the sounds, and claim that by using this technique, they can accurately quantify subsea methane. Bob Dziak is quoted.
