Hydrogen Isotopes Preclude Marine Hydrate CH4 Emissions 
at the Onset of Dansgaard-Oeschger Events. 
Science, Vol. 328, pp. 1686. 
DOI: 10.1126/science.1187651</Reference>
  <Summary>
    <Abstract>The causes of past changes in the global methane cycle 
and especially the role of marine methane hydrate (clathrate) 
destabilization events are a matter of debate. Here we present 
evidence from the North Greenland Ice Core Project ice core 
based on the hydrogen isotopic composition of methane [dD(CH4)] 
that clathrates did not cause atmospheric methane concentration 
to rise at the onset of Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) events 7 and 8. 
Box modeling supports boreal wetland emissions as the most likely 
explanation for the interstadial increase. Moreover, our data 
show that dD(CH4) dropped 500 years before the onset of DO 8, 
with CH4 concentration rising only slightly. This can be 
explained by an early climate response of boreal wetlands, 
which carry the strongly depleted isotopic signature of 
high-latitude precipitation at that time.
