Fig. 1: A conceptual model to illustrate potential subsurface fluid and gas systems in the region.
From: Antarctic seep emergence and discovery in the shallow coastal environment
Connectivity across the land-sea continuum is indicated along (a) glaciated and (b) non-glaciated margins. Potential reservoirs and connectivity are modelled after5,6,33,38,40, and the conceptual model is not drawn to scale. The theoretical gas hydrate stability zones (GHSZ) are based on3,8,33,34,80 and broader methane sources are from33,81,82. The subglacial hydrology is informed by38,39,40 and permafrost and subsea permafrost (SS-P) distribution is informed by83,84,85.
