Methane hydrate is a form of water ice that contains a large amount of methane within its crystal structure, called a clathrate hydrate. ❋ Unknown (2006)

That's called a clathrate --- Latin for a "cage, trellis, or grating" -- and all kinds of things can be held in there. ❋ Barnes, John, 1957- (1994)

Another method involves exchanging the methane molecules in the "clathrate" structure with carbon dioxide. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The clathrate gun hyopthesis has received attention lately, although it's been benevolently referred to as a "methane burp" rather than an apocalyptic release of methane that hammered in the nails of past mass extinctions. ❋ Scott Thill (2011)

Although not related to Prof Ryskin's "Methane Driven Oceanic Eruption", the clathrate gun hypothesis works on the basis that rises in sea temperatures can trigger the sudden release of methane from methane clathrate compounds buried in seabeds and permafrost. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The methane itself is a powerful greenhouse gas and this leads to further temperature rises and methane clathrate destabilisation -- in effect initiating a runaway process as irreversible, once started, as the firing of a gun. ❋ Unknown (2010)

There is stronger evidence that runaway methane clathrate breakdown may have caused drastic alteration of the ocean environment and the atmosphere of earth on a number of occasions in the past. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Güllük et al. 1998 also rebutted Jaworowski on contamination, stating that Jaworowski et al. 1992, 1994 suggested that CO2 measurements may be subject to fractionation due to clathrate formation and destruction. ❋ EliRabett (2010)

As the polar ground thaws and the sea beds warm the subsurface clathrate starts to melt. ❋ Unknown (2010)

There was an article in Science last month on the chemistry of clathrate formation. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Another method involves exchanging the methane molecules in the “clathrate” structure with carbon dioxide. ❋ Unknown (2009)

What science and scientists show us here is that CC is _very probably_ for real and man made, that climate is complex and unstable, that reaching a tipping point global ocean current stop, clathrate dissociation, you name it is very much a possibility, that in the recent past there is a clear correlation btw CO2 / temp / ocean current, and a few other things. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Has there been a tiny increase of deep water temperatures which has altered the rate of clathrate consumption by deep ocean methanophage bacteria? ❋ Unknown (2007)
