Mechanism of Faster CH4 Bubble Growth Under Surface Waves in Muddy Aquatic Sediments: Effects of Wave Amplitude, Period, and Water Depth

Methane (CH4) transport from organic-rich fine-grained (muddy) shallow aquatic sediments to water column is mediated dominantly by discrete bubbles, which is an important natural source of greenhouse CH4. The lifespan of these bubbles within the sediment comprises two successive stages: growth from...
