Storm Events Causes Spike in Methane Emissions from Fjords to the Atmosphere

When people experience heavy storms, the usually stratified layers of water in ocean fjords tend to get mixed. This results in oxygenation of the fjord floor. However, such storm events also give rise to a spike in methane emissions from fjords to the air.
