The top 10 methane-emitting sites in the world release 28.8 million tonnes of the gas per year, say experts at the University of Bremen in Germany.

Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL ... This mobile system was calibrated to operate at specific wavelengths optimal for detecting methane, achieving background concentration measurements of ...

"[He applied] a technique first used in the 70s and 80s using visible absorption bands of ammonia and methane at red wavelengths. Although well known, this technique had not been used much since.

Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are icy bodies that vary widely in size, from large dwarf planets like Pluto and Eris—each ...

could be used on a future space mission to detect methane (CH 4) on Earth-like exoplanets in optical (visible) and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. This study builds on past studies using BARBIE ...

The atmosphere stays hotter than expected mainly due to greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and atmospheric ... Foote’s discovery of the high heat absorption of carbon dioxide ...

Long before the current political divide over climate change, and even before the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865), an American scientist named Eunice Foote documented the underlying cause of today’s ...

But, it’s not that simple. The atmosphere stays hotter than expected mainly due to greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and atmospheric water vapor, which all absorb outgoing heat.

Shallow coastal waters are hotspots for methane emissions, releasing significant amounts of this potent greenhouse gas into the atmosphere and contributing to global warming. This new research ...

A mechanical dog unleashed at a California landfill can scamper over mountains of trash in hot pursuit of methane leaks. The four-legged robot is part of a pilot project that Orange County Waste ...
