Disputas - Master of Science Haoyi Yao

Master of Science Haoyi Yao vil torsdag 26. mars klokken 12.15 offentlig forsvare sin avhandling for graden ph.d. i realfag.

Tittel på avhandlingen:

«Reconstruction of past and present methane emission in the Arctic cold seeps using biogeochemical proxies»

Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag:

We learn from the past, study history to help predict the future — the PhD project focus on three keywords: methane emission history, Arctic cold seep and biogeochemical evidence. Most people now aware that methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. More and more people also aware that there is huge amount of methane in for form of methane hydrate in the ocean. These methane hydrates are not only potential sources for methane emission but also potential energy sources. We are all experiencing global warming, and the Arctic is warming faster than the rest of the world. The Arctic Ocean also hosts large amount of methane hydrate. This PhD thesis focused on two of the hydrate sites in the Arctic. We used biogeochemical tools to study these two sites to find out was there methane emission in the past? Were these emissions related to methane hydrate dissociation? If yes, what were the drivers for the hydrate dissociation?
