Methane clathrate, or "methane hydrate," is a solid compound in which a large amount of methane is trapped within the crystalline structure of water, creating a solid similar to ice. Considering ...
A new study suggests that the planet’s icy interior and liquid ocean could be insulated with a three-to-six-mile-thick layer of methane clathrate, which is solid water ice with methane gas trapped in ...

Saturn's Biggest Moon Might Have A Layer Of Methane Ice Six Miles Thick, Which Could Help Detect Signs Of LifeThey were able to test how much the surface of the moon would relax and rebound after it was struck by an asteroid if its icy ...

In research published Sept. 30 in The Planetary Science Journal, a University of Hawaii-led team modeled the potential for methane clathrate (a kind of methane-infused water ice) in the crust of ...
"Using this modeling approach, we were able to constrain the methane clathrate crust thickness to five to ten kilometres [about 3 to 6 miles] because simulations using that thickness produced ...
