Methane-choked lake ignites, setting the air above it on fire
The image is surreal: a frozen lake, a scientist kneeling on the ice, and then a sheet of flame racing across the surface as ...
Thawing permafrost has released so much methane into Esieh Lake near Fairbanks, Alaska that the air above it is flammable.
The findings are important because methane is over 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. Arctic lakes are already major natural methane sources globally, but the processes ...
Higher methane emissions from warmer lakes and reservoirs may exacerbate worst-case climate scenario
Emissions of the greenhouse gas methane from lakes and reservoirs risk doubling by the end of the century due to climate change according to a new study from Linköping University, Sweden, and NASA ...
IMAGE: Methane in a planet’s atmosphere may be a sign of life if nonbiological sources can be ruled out. This illustration summarizes the known abiotic sources of methane on Earth, including ...
The science teepee followed us at all ten lakes, some of which we visited on multiple occasions in 2021 and 2022 (summer and winter). This was where all the methane subsampling happened. Here it ...
