JWST could potentially detect the signature of methyl halide compounds, produced by microbial life in Earth's ocean, on ...

A new discovery of methane leaks in Antarctica could be a game-changer and potential near-term threat that’s difficult to ...

As the oceans are warming, fire-ice is slowly melting and emitting the greenhouse gas methane into the atmosphere. Rising levels of carbon dioxide are famously problematic, but methane is a far ...

It's not clear whether the deep-sea explosion actually pumped methane into atmosphere, where it would contribute to climate change, or if it all remained in the ocean. Today's gas leaks follow a ...

underscores the fact that even greenhouse gases that don’t last long in the atmosphere — methane, for instance — can have centuries-long impacts on the expanding oceans. So while the ...

New research highlights how tides, seasons, and ocean currents strongly influence methane emissions and how tiny microorganisms, called methanotrophs, help reduce their impact. These findings are ...

There are still hurdles to overcome, but growing the seaweed industry in a state known for lobster could be a win for local ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 61, No. S1, Special Issue: Methane Emissions from Oceans, Wetlands, and Freshwater Habitats: New Perspectives and Feedbacks on Climate (2016), pp. S188-S203 (16 pages) ...

Methane hydrates occur in five geographic settings (or sectors) that must be individually evaluated to determine their susceptibility to warming climate (Figure 1). The percentages assigned to ...

Canadian greenhouse gas monitoring company GHGSat said in early February that the amount of methane being emitted from Mount Fentale is “substantial.” When GHGSat began measuring the emissions ...

The biggest factor that protects a wetland from emitting methane is how salty it is. Wetlands whose water was at least 1.8% salt—about half as salty as the ocean—emitted practically zero met ...
