Marine sediments play a pivotal role in the Earth’s carbon cycle by mediating the generation, migration and ultimate consumption of methane. Methane dynamics in these sediments are governed by complex ...

Methane, both a vital energy resource and a potent greenhouse gas, is produced and modified by a number of geological and biological processes. Recent advances in isotopic characterisation have ...

Microbial methane leaking from non-producing oil and gas wells is being emitted at rates about 1,000 times higher than ...

Methane is the second-largest contributor to climate warming after carbon dioxide, and so scientists have put a lot of attention toward addressing one of the top sources: methane emissions from ...

A fundamental challenge regarding management of coalbed methane (CBM) produced water is determining to what degree surface water and groundwater resources may be depleted, supplemented, degraded, or ...

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that can pack more than 25 times the global warming punch of carbon dioxide, and atmospheric methane emissions have been growing significantly since 2007. So it’s ...

"Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas when released into the atmosphere, regardless of its origin. In particular, this study implies that non-producing oil and gas wells could continue to emit ...

Global melting is prying the lid off methane stocks, the extent of which we do not know. A researcher has now discovered high concentrations of the powerful greenhouse gas in meltwater from three ...
