Methane is a colorless, odorless gas that is the primary component of natural gas and a potent greenhouse gas. It is produced naturally through biological processes and human activities, particularly in wetlands, landfills, and during fossil fuel extraction. In the context of permafrost dynamics, methane is crucial because it can be released from thawing permafrost, contributing to climate change.
