  1. <<<<<< Welcome COST Action PERGAMON Why are we here The program Organization

  2. <<<<<< COST Action PERGAMON Study methane release in the Arctic from terrestrial and marine sources and their impact on the atmosphere. Promote cooperation between countries, institutes and scientist. Highlight the importance of discipline overarching cooperation. Enable networking by funding meetings, workshops, travel grants. No direct funding of science itself. The Action runs from 11.11.2009 - 10.11.2013

  3. <<<<<< COST Action PERGAMON

  4. <<<<<< COST Action PERGAMON • Work Group A: Methane formation, transport and accumulation in terrestrial and marine sediments and permafrost • Work Group B-1: Biogeochemical processes in the shallow sub-seafloor and at the sediment-water interface around seep sites • Work Group B-2: Methane fluxes from the sea/lake-floor into the atmosphere • Work Group C-1: Methane fluxes from the terrestrial environment (wetlands, tundra, Arctic-lakes) • Work Group C-2: Atmospheric methane monitoring and global implications for current and future Arctic warming • Work Group WG-D: Data compilation, integration and organization of data distribution among the scientific community

  5. <<<<<< • Why are we here? • Bubble detection, quantification and monitoring are meanwhile common tasks to study natural and artificial gas release from: • marine seeps • lake sediments • CCS areas • water reservoirs • leaking gas wells/pipelines • Knowledge about geochemical bubble dissolution is needed to better understand: • the transfere of methane from the seafloor towards the atmosphere • the potential of localized ocean acidification • the influence surfactans and gas hydrate skins have on bubble dissolution • the impact of plume formation

  6. <<<<<< • Why are we here? • A number of bubble dissolution models exist which have never been compared to each other as they are not available as online tools, usable code or something similar. Thus, they are not available for a wider scientific community. What we could/should do is: • To do a model comparison and see where they differ • To highlight shortcomings in the different models to advance their capabilities • To compile models as online tools or standalone GUIs • Write a comparison paper about the different models • Design clever experiment to verify bubble dissolution in nature (dye, thermistors, automated water sampling profiler, video observations, ...)
