The invention of the primary energetic methane seep in Antarctica is offering scientists new understanding of the methane cycle and the position methane discovered on this area could play in warming the planet.

The pandemic has tugged carbon emissions down, quickly. However ranges of the highly effective heat-trapping gasoline methane proceed to climb, dragging the world additional away from a path that skirts the worst results of worldwide warming.

Scientists uncover an uncommon partnership on the backside of the ocean.

New analysis has defined an vital thriller about pure fuel hydrate formations and, in doing so, superior scientists' understanding of how fuel hydrates might contribute to local weather change and vitality safety.

Methane is a fuel that deserves extra consideration within the local weather debate because it contributes to nearly half of human-made international warming within the short-term. A brand new research reveals that it's doable to considerably contribute to decreased international warming by way of the implementation of obtainable know-how that ...

In a brand new research, scientists with NASA's Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) used planes geared up with the Airborne Seen Infrared Imaging Spectrometer -- Subsequent Era (AVIRIS -- NG), a extremely specialised instrument, to fly over some 20,000 sq. miles (30,000 sq. kilometers) of the Arctic panorama within the ...

Discovering pure fuel leaks extra rapidly and at decrease value might cut back methane emissions. Ten promising applied sciences mounted on drones, vans and airplanes had been examined final yr. The outcomes are in.

New analysis supplies proof of the formation and abundance of abiotic methane -- methane shaped by chemical reactions that do not contain natural matter -- on Earth and exhibits how the gases may have an analogous origin on different planets and moons, even these not house to liquid water.

Giant quantities of the potent greenhouse gasoline methane are being launched from an Icelandic glacier, scientists have found. A research of Sólheimajökull glacier, which flows from the energetic, ice-covered volcano Katla, exhibits that as much as 41 tons of methane is being launched via meltwaters daily throughout the summer season ...

A analysis workforce has efficiently recorded the sound of methane bubbles from the seafloor off the Oregon coast, opening the door to utilizing acoustics to establish -- and maybe quantify -- this vital greenhouse gasoline within the ocean.
