Recent analyses of ESA’s Mars Express data reveal that concentrations of water vapour and methane in the atmosphere of Mars significantly overlap. This result, from data obtained by the Planetary ...

In the quest to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, detecting methane leaks – a potent contributor to global warming – has become increasingly vital. Researchers are harnessing ...

A study by the University of Bremen has identified 217 potential persistent methane source regions, estimated their emissions and created a global map of their distribution. The data was from the ...

Methane is particularly targeted for curbing greenhouse gas emissions because its significant global-warming potential in the short term exceeds carbon dioxide by over 80-fold. However, monitoring ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Ian writes on fossil energies, climate, and transition to renewables. Flames of burning methane near a well in the Bakken Oil ...

Tracking The Right Global Warming MetricWhen it comes to climate change induced by greenhouse gases, most of the public’s ...

In the fight against climate change, pinpointing methane emissions from industrial sources has always been a challenge. But now, thanks to a network of cutting-edge private satellites, that challenge ...

An International study has analyzed methane gas fluxes in over a hundred tidal wetlands and marshes in the USA. The analysis has identified key environmental factors affecting methane emissions and ...

Your local wetland could send hundreds of tons of planet-warming methane into the atmosphere every year. Or virtually none. Kristen Goodhue Your local wetland could be sending over 500 metric tons of ...

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 ...
