In the 1960s, scientists were surprised - data clearly showed there was fresh water under the ocean floor.

Scientists have been trying to find out why since their intriguing discovery.

This month, an international team will take a closer look.

The Loop Current is a major pathway for water flowing from the tropics to the high-latitude North Atlantic and a key component of oceanic thermohaline circulation that affects climate in North America and Europe.

In August 2023 we drilled and cored sediments through a hydrate system in the Gulf of Mexico. We recovered excellent records to understand microbial methane generation and how hydrate systems respond to paleoenvironmental changes. Check out our preliminary report here: zenodo.org/records/1364...
