A large increase in atmospheric methane between 2020 and 2022 raised concerns that tropical wetland emissions had surged in ...

A NASA science instrument in orbit will form the backbone of a new initiative to survey methane emissions from landfills in a new nonprofit project to track the greenhouse gas.

Methane-emissions data from GHGSat will be shared for scientific research through NASA’s Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition program.

An instrument designed mainly for studies on airborne dust and climate change has proven adept at another key function: detecting large, worldwide emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

The spacecraft, MethaneSAT, was just a year into its mission to provide a clearer picture of planet-warming emissions from ...

NASA has reported that an official U.S. methane estimate is wrong. In a new satellite analysis, an international team of scientists found that methane emissions in the U.S. were higher in 2019 ...

Methane emissions are often underestimated and underreported, posing a much bigger problem than we once thought. Methane is a greenhouse gas up to 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over the ...

More than 50 plumes of methane were found on Earth using NASA imagery on the International Space Station.

A NASA instrument designed to study dust has revealed that some of the largest methane clouds ever seen are floating over the US, Iran and elsewhere.

Methane emissions reached the highest levels ever recorded in 2021, marking the second-consecutive year record annual increases were observed by federal scientists.

NASA has reported that an official U.S. methane estimate is wrong. In a new satellite analysis, an international team of scientists found that methane emissions in the U.S. were higher in 2019 ...
