| Summary | This detailed abstract summarizes research on methane and stable carbon isotopes found in permafrost methane in the western Canadian Arctic. Research shows that methane is trapped in permafrost in various locations. This suggests that methane trapped in permafrost is a much more widespread phenomenon. The research found that the trapped methane was most likely produced on site through biological activity. |
| Local Relevance | Climate change accelerates the release of stored methane and carbon from permafrost cores in the Northwest Territories. |
