It was almost 10 years ago when Andrew Thorpe received a text from the crew flying overhead in a small aircraft: They had spotted a new methane hot spot. “There’s no denying it anymore — once we see a plume, there’s no other potential source,” said Christian Frankenberg, co-principal investigator for Carbon-I and a professor of environmental science and engineering …
Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice, doubling previous estimates of losses from the world's largest ice sheet over the past 25 years, a satellite analysis showed on Wednesday. The first-of-its-kind study, led by researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Los Angeles and published in the journal Nature, raises new concern …
The Antarctic ice shelf is crumbling much faster than first thought, a NASA study has revealed, with 12 trillion tonnes of ice being lost over the past 25 years. Melting: The Antarctic ice shelf is crumbling much faster than first thought, a NASA study has revealed. In this 2016 photo the 200ft-tall front of the Getz Ice Shelf in Antarctica …
The search for the world's largest methane sources Nasa/JPL-Caltech A methane plume detected by Nasa in summer 2020 identified a leaking gas line in California. Copernicus/Kayrros/US EIA Regions that don't produce oil or gas also have large methane concentrations, potentially due to pipeline maintenance The project's main focus is to find super emitters, Duren says. The satellites will enhance the …
