As drought drives water levels lower, a Spanish reservoir may be releasing much more methane into the atmosphere than usual, ...

For decades, oceanographers measured something that did not make sense. Surface ocean waters, saturated with oxygen, were ...

Methane is a greenhouse gas that is more than 25 times as potent as CO 2 in warming the Earth. Reducing methane emissions is necessary to reduce the impact of global warming. In urban areas, evidence ...

The findings challenge current climate models, which predict that these environments will be an insignificant source of methane or even a sink as the Arctic warms. Typically, methane emissions are ...

Grist is a nonprofit, independent media organization dedicated to telling stories of climate solutions and a just future. An international team of researchers found that global emissions of methane, a ...

A list of the top 10 global regions where natural or anthropogenic sources emit methane on a continuous, "persistent" basis was recently published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. The study ...

East of Hazar, Turkmenistan, a port city on the Caspian Sea, 12 plumes of methane stream westward. Some of the plumes, detected by NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation mission, ...

Methane, the main component of natural gas, is a major contributor to global warming, and is far more potent than carbon dioxide in preventing heat from escaping Earth’s atmosphere. According to a new ...

An international team of researchers found that global emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, rose faster than ever in the three years ending in 2022. In a new report from the Global Carbon ...
