Evidence for massive emission of methane from a deep‐water gas field during the Pliocene

Geologic hydrocarbon seepage is a natural atmospheric source of methane, considered to prevail in terrestrial and shallow‐water areas; deep‐water methane seepage is expected to have no atmospheric impact, as gas is typically consumed throughout the water column. Here, we present evidence for a sudde...
