This study provides a comprehensive revision of the global distribution of methane hydrates, focusing on their presence in ocean sediments and permafrost regions. Methane hydrates are significant as they serve as potential energy resources and have implications for climate change due to methane release. The research updates data originally compiled by Kvenvolden in 1988, highlighting new findings, geographic variations, and the importance of these hydrates in marine and polar environments. Understanding their distribution is crucial for energy exploration and environmental management.
