“…Sedimentary release in shallow marine waters was considered to be an important source of dissolved CH 4 in, for example, the Chukchi Sea (Lapham et al., 2017), the Beaufort Sea (Manning et al., 2022) and the East Siberian Arctic shelf (Shakhova, Semiletov, Leifer, et al., 2010; Shakhova, Semiletov, Salyuk, et al., 2010). Due to the effect of ebullition from ocean hotspots, significant CH 4 in the East Siberian Arctic shelf was vented to the atmosphere, yielding the same magnitude as existing estimates of total CH 4 emissions from the entire world ocean (Shakhova, Semiletov, Salyuk, et al., 2010; Shakhova et al., 2014).…”
