Methane bubble growth and migration in aquatic sediments observed by X-ray mu CT Universiteit Antwerpen Universiteit Gent
Methane bubble formation and transport is an important component of biogeochemical carbon cycling in aquatic sediments. To improve understanding of how sediment mechanical properties influence bubble growth and transport in freshwater sediments, a 20-day laboratory incubation experiment using homogenized natural clay and sand was performed. Methane bubble development at high resolution was characterized by mu CT. Initially, capillary invasion by ...
