Abstract

This time course experiment was performed to test if the uptake rate of 3H-CH4 is linear over the chosen incubation time (3 days) for the seawater samples.

 

Methodology: 

 

Sampling and analytical procedures:


Methane concentrations were measured by headspace equilibration method, modified from Kinnaman et al., 2007.

Fractional methane turnover rates were analyzed based on the 3H-labeled methane incubation protocol by Bussmann et al., 2015.

Methane oxidation rates were calculated assuming adherence to the first-order rate law, by multiplying fractional methane turnover rate and ambient methane concentration (Valentine et al., 2001).

Samples were collected from R/V Connell.
