The icy shell of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, may possibly contain a six-mile-thick layer of methane ice beneath its surface ...

A new study suggests that the planet’s icy interior and liquid ocean could be insulated with a three-to-six-mile-thick layer of methane clathrate, which is solid water ice with methane gas trapped in ...

Here we propose an additional mechanism: topographic relaxation due to an insulating methane clathrate crustal layer in Titan’s upper ice shell.” “This was very surprising because, based on other ...

Methane is currently responsible for about one-third of global warming. This greenhouse gas is about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its ability to heat up the climate system ...

The researchers propose that methane gas might be trapped beneath its thick ice crust, raising intriguing possibilities about the moon's potential to support life. This research not only ...

New Delhi: Cairn Oil & Gas, a Vedanta Group company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Oil & Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0, ...

In research published Sept. 30 in The Planetary Science Journal, a University of Hawaii-led team modeled the potential for methane clathrate (a kind of methane-infused water ice) in the crust of ...
