Vincent Gauci has spent more than a decade measuring methane emissions from wetlands. During that time, a growing body of research has emerged detailing how trees in these ecosystems emit methane from ...

Scientists from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an automated monitoring system to continuously track methane absorption by forest soils. A four-year ...

The measured transit spectrum (top) and eclipse spectrum (bottom) of WASP-80 b from NIRCam’s slitless spectroscopy mode on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. In both spectra, there is clear evidence ...

In the upper layer of Titan's atmosphere, visible here in blue light, methane molecules are being dissociated by sunlight and recombining into ethane and acetylene molecules. Further down, the orange ...

Most climate models do not yet account for a recent discovery: methane traps a great deal of heat in Earth's atmosphere, but also creates cooling clouds that offset 30% of the heat. Most climate ...

Methane is a greenhouse gas with dual personalities. It heats Earth’s atmosphere 28 times as potently as carbon dioxide, gram for gram. But its absorption of the sun’s radiation high in the atmosphere ...

“Bottom line is that we have no detection of methane so far,” Chris Webster, a Mars scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, told Nature. The findings don’t completely rule ...
