Beginning with definitions, classifications for onshore and offshore seepage, and fundamentals on gas migration mechanisms, the book reports the latest findings for the global distribution of gas seepage and describes detection methods. Seepage implications are discussed in relation to petroleum exploration, environmental impacts (hazards, pollution, atmospheric emissions, and past climate change), emerging scientific issues (abiotic gas and methane on Mars), and the role of seeps in ancient cultures. With an updated bibliography and an integrated analysis of available data, the book offers a new fundamental awareness - gas seepage is more widespread than previously thought and influences all of Earth’s external “spheres”, including the hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere.Earth sciencesEarth Sciences, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G00002Earth sciences.Earth Sciences, general.055550Etiope Giuseppeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063122BOOK9910299437803321Natural Gas Seepage2530668UNINA
