Environmental Science & Technology
This peer-reviewed study uses site-level methane emissions data from natural gas production sites across the United States to develop a new, more accurate national CH4 emission estimate for the natural gas production sector.Read More →

Marine Heatwaves Under Global Warming

August 2018
Thomas L. Frölicher, Erich M. Fischer, Nicolas Gruber
Nature
This report argues that marine heat waves (MHWs) are becoming longer-lasting and more frequent, extensive and intense in the past few decades, and that this trend will accelerate under further global warming.Read More →
