NASA's Cassini probe zipped by Saturn's largest moon Titan on Tuesday (July 24) in a close flyby to search for a lake filled with liquid methane. The Cassini spacecraft flew within 629 miles (1,012 ...

This is the metadata section. Skip to content viewer section. Atmospheric methane (CH₄) concentrations have more than doubled in the past ~ 250 yr, although the sources of this potent greenhouse gas ...

Thawing permafrost has released so much methane into Esieh Lake near Fairbanks, Alaska that the air above it is flammable.

Last month, UAF researcher Katey Walter brought a National Public Radio crew to Alaska’s North Slope, hoping to show them examples of what happens when methane is released when permafrost thaws ...

In the eastern part of Lake Constance, the second largest prealpine lake in Europe, about 500 pockmarks (morphological depressions on the lake floor) were recently discovered. The diameters of these ...

A new study from Swansea University has given new insights into how the greenhouse gas methane is being produced in the surface waters of lakes, which should signal a rethink on the global methane ...

Karongi, Rwanda: Beneath the calm waters of Lake Kivu lie vast but deadly reserves of methane and carbon dioxide, which Rwanda is tapping both to save lives and provide a lucrative power source. Plans ...

Nestling on the northern shores of the lake is Karongi, still known by its former name Kibuye, where a small creek outside of town hosts a yard built and run by civil construction and mechanical ...

One of the many greenhouse gases contributing to global warming is methane. Methane is emitted in a lot of ways, including from lakes across Alaska. However, studies on how much methane flows up from ...

Methane (CH4) is an important greenhouse gas in the Earth’s atmosphere, accounting for approximately 20% of the observed greenhouse effect. With an atmospheric lifetime of about ten years, methane ...

Study sheds new light on the impact of natural methane production on global climate change assessments. A new study from Swansea University has given new insights into how the greenhouse gas methane ...
