This is where my knowledge of permafrost methane encapsulation wanes but my interest in permafrost methane encapsulation takes me no further. I remember Nyos as a kid and there was a lot of handwaving as to why, but since then I've read two scientific articles on it that both hedge as far as the reason. This is probably one of those "well, we weren't expecting that but it might be because of this" issues that masters' theses are made of.
