Methane levels in Earth’s atmosphere surged faster than ever in the early 2020s, and scientists say the reason was a surprising mix of chemistry and climate. A temporary slowdown in the atmosphere’s ...

The image is surreal: a frozen lake, a scientist kneeling on the ice, and then a sheet of flame racing across the surface as trapped gas turns the air itself into fuel. What looks like a stunt is in ...

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 ...

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 ...

A combination of weakened atmospheric removal and increased emissions from warming wetlands, rivers, lakes, and agricultural ...

Atmospheric methane rose faster than ever in the early 2020s, driven less by fossil fuels and more by changes in nature itself.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft captures an infrared view of Saturn moon Titan during a November 2015 flyby in this composite image. - NASA / JPL / University of Arizona / University of Idaho Saturn’s ...

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 ...
