Seawater sulphate heritage governed early Late Miocene methane consumption in the long-lived Lake Pannon

Abstract Sulphate deficiency makes lake environments a key source of atmospheric methane because sulphate-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane (SD-AOM) is hindered. Miocene to Pliocene Lake Pannon was the largest European lake, although the extent of its methane production remains unclear. When sul...
