Methane, both a vital energy resource and a potent greenhouse gas, is produced and modified by a number of geological and biological processes. Recent advances in isotopic characterisation have ...

An electron microscope image of single-celled methanogens, members of the archaea branch of the tree of life. They are ubiquitous in oxygen-free environments, turning simple foods into methane, a ...

When looking at greenhouse gases and methane emissions, many are asking, how does methane affect global warming and how can we reduce greenhouse gas? How Does Methane Affect Global Warming With ...

Tree bark surfaces play an important role in removing methane gas from the atmosphere, according to a study published 24 July in Nature. While trees have long been known to benefit the climate by ...

Analyzing data from airborne campaigns, the study reveals that older shallow-water platforms in Angola emit more methane than ...

High above Earth, a cutting-edge satellite is zooming around the planet 15 times a day. It is hunting for leaks of methane — an invisible, super-polluting gas that is dramatically warming the planet.

The measured transit spectrum (top) and eclipse spectrum (bottom) of WASP-80 b from NIRCam’s slitless spectroscopy mode on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. In both spectra, there is clear evidence ...

The levels of the crucial heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere reached historic highs last year, growing at near-record fast paces, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

A new analysis of satellite data finds that the record surge in atmospheric methane emissions from 2020 to 2022 was driven by increased inundation and water storage in wetlands, combined with a slight ...
