Ocean sediments are a massive storehouse for the potent greenhouse gas methane. Trapped in ocean sediments near continents lie ancient reservoirs of methane called methane hydrates. These ice-like ...
Through a combination of high-pressure experiments and optical spectroscopy, physicists have revealed new insights into the structural forms of solid methane. Led by Mengnan Wang at the University of ...
Roughly two-thirds of all atmospheric methane, a potent greenhouse gas, comes from methanogens. Tracking down which methanogens in which environment produce methane with a specific isotope signature ...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is helping turn satellite observations into methane mitigation action in the oil and gas sector.
New research has shown that fire-ice -- frozen methane which is trapped as a solid under our oceans -- is vulnerable to melting due to climate change and could be released into the sea. New research ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected methane in the atmosphere of TOI-199 b, a Saturn-mass gas giant orbiting its star every 100 days with an equilibrium temperature of roughly 350 K. That ...
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas whose concentration in the atmosphere has risen sharply in recent decades. Wetlands ...
