Through a combination of high-pressure experiments and optical spectroscopy, physicists have revealed new insights into the ...
In a paradox of air pollution, a decrease in man-made pollutants led to more methane in our atmosphere. And natural wetlands released more of the planet-warming gas at the same time ...
Methane levels in Earth’s atmosphere surged faster than ever in the early 2020s, and scientists say the reason was a ...
A combination of weakened atmospheric removal and increased emissions from warming wetlands, rivers, lakes, and agricultural ...
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas with strong heat-trapping capabilities. Although there is less methane in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, the foremost greenhouse gas, researchers attribute 30 ...
New research reveals that drying forest soils can boost methane uptake, offering a small but important climate benefit as warming continues.
Methane spiked in the early 2020s as wetter conditions boosted emissions at the same time the atmosphere’s chemical “cleaner” weakened.
