Mapping methane reduction potential of tidal wetland restoration in the United States

October 2023
James R. Holmquist, Meagan Eagle, Rebecca Lee Molinari, Sydney K. Nick, Liana C. Stachowicz, Kevin D. Kroeger
Nature Communications Earth & Environment
This peer-reviewed study provides a new assessment of coastal methane reduction opportunities in the U.S., and identifies a map of 1,796 parcels with the potential for tidal reconnection that can reduce methane emissions from coastal wetlands.Read More →

This peer-reviewed study uses statistical analysis to analyze the correlation between patterns of settlement and transportation infrastructures on per-capita energy demand and CO₂ emissions at the national level.Read More →

Excess methane emissions from shallow water platforms elevate the carbon intensity of US Gulf of Mexico oil and gas production

April 2023
Alan M. Gorchov Negron, Eric A. Kort, Yuanlei Chen, Ángel F. Adames-Corraliza
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
This peer-reviewed study presents an approach to calculating the carbon intensity of oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico, finding that government inventories underestimate the amount of methane produced by these operations.Read More →

National contributions to climate change due to historical emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide since 1850

March 2023
Matthew W. Jones, Glen P. Peters, Thomas Gasser, Robbie M. Andrew, Clemens Schwingshackl, Johannes Gütschow, Richard A. Houghton, Pierre Friedlingstein, Julia Pongratz, Corinne Le Quéré
Scientific Data (Nature)
This study introduces a dataset detailing the national contributions to global warming caused by CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions from 1851 to 2021. It emphasizes the importance of national accountability offers insights into cumulative impacts. Read More →

Atmospheric observations suggest methane emissions in north-eastern China growing with natural gas use

November 2022
Fenjuan Wang, Shamil Maksyutov, Rajesh Janardanan, Aki Tsuruta, Akihiko Ito, Isamu Morino, Yukio Yoshida, Yasunori Tohjima, Johannes W. Kaiser, Xin Lan, Yong Zhang, Ivan Mammarella, Jost V. Lavric, Tsuneo Matsunaga
Nature Scientific Reports
Using atmospheric and satellite observations of methane, this study estimates poorly-measured methane emissions in China, and concludes that China's increased methane emissions are largely attributable to the growth in China's natural gas use.Read More →
