Ruth Varner and Michael Palace of CSRC were recently funded by the U.S. Geological Survey to develop a prototype instrument to detect ebullition or bubbling events of methane in wetland and lake ecosystems. This novel method utilizes hydrophones (underwater microphones) to monitor and extract this information cheaply and efficiently over long temporal scales. Coupling these audio methods with the analysis of gas samples will help to determine the pathway by which methane is formed through microbial processes or methanogenesis.

I'm wondering if I get these long audio files together if people might be interested in making a microsound project using them as source files.
