ORNL DAAC recently released a new ABoVE dataset by Tyler, N. et al (2025):

Potential Areas of Gas Seepage Detected by SAR in Lakes near Fairbanks, Alaska

This dataset includes maps and locations of potential gas seepage in lakes within the immediate and surrounding area around Fairbanks, Alaska, a region underlain by discontinuous permafrost and characterized by thermokarst lake formation.
