Here's a paper from July https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023GB00...

Key Points

    >The rapid growth in the atmospheric methane burden that began in late 2006 is very different from methane's past observational record

    >Recent studies point to strongly increased emissions from wetlands, especially in the tropics

    >This increase is comparable in scale and speed to glacial/interglacial terminations when the global climate system suddenly reorganized
Overall, there is a growing research output although much is still unknown. See for example:

> Rising methane could be a sign that Earth’s climate is part-way through a ‘termination-level transition’

>‘Exceptional’ surge in methane emissions from wetlands worries scientists

Dr Peter Carter has a good run down of the rapid rise in methane emissions:

Thank you so much, I think I might have seen the first paper, will plow through the rest later, it will take me some time!
