A new NASA-led study has solved a puzzle involving the recent rise in atmospheric methane, a potent greenhouse gas, with a new calculation of emissions…
MIT scientists have determined the structure of an enzyme that is found in ocean microbes and can produce a precursor to methane. Industrial and agricultural…
Scientists at MIT have developed a new way to harness wasted methane that could help curb needless “flaring” of potent greenhouse gas. Methane gas, a…
Using data from the NEOWISE Space Telescope, astronomers have gained new insights into the dust and production rates for difficult-to-observe gases like carbon dioxide and…
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry reveal that lichens, mosses, and cyanobacteria produce large amounts of nitrous oxide. Inconspicuous creatures surprise with a…
A newly published NASA study shows that the recent extra heat from greenhouse gases has been trapped in the waters of the Pacific and Indian…
A new study reveals a natural impediment to the long-term sequestration of carbon dioxide, showing that as carbon dioxide works its way underground only a…
A new study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that warmer Pacific Ocean temperatures could release millions of tons of seafloor methane. Off the West…
NASA is about to launch the Orbiting Carbon Observatory – a satellite dedicated to the study of global carbon dioxide sources that will help researchers…
A newly published study suggests that planetary “runaway greenhouse” climates are more easily triggered than previously thought. It might be easier than previously thought for…
Scientists report that there are alarmingly high methane emissions from oil and gas fields, undermining the environmental benefits of natural gas, which is transforming the…
One-third of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions stem from the global food system, which encompasses the manufacturing of fertilizer, to food storage and packaging. These…
Methane gas is escaping from the seabed sediments somewhere off the coast of North Carolina. Researchers think that a shifting Gulf Stream, the Atlantic Ocean…
As carbon dioxide levels continue to climb in the Earth’s atmosphere, most current climate models project that the world’s oceans and trees will keep soaking…
A team of scientists has developed a computer model that can identify the best molecular candidates for removing greenhouse gases from power plants, providing accurate…
Scientists believe diseased trees may be a significant source of methane that causes climate change, finding concentrations of methane that were as high as 80,000…
By combining methane measurements from a tower with model predictions of expected methane signals, scientists were able to revise the estimate of the methane emissions…
