Groundwater commonly contains methane, but the amount of this important greenhouse gas that can escape to surface waters or the atmosphere is highly uncertain. A team from the Max Planck Institute for ...

When the submarine volcano Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai in the South Pacific erupted in January 2022, it was not only one of the most violent volcanic eruptions in modern times. The volcano also did ...

Unexpected climate effect: The 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption triggered a rare chemical process that destroyed methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in the upper atmosphere. Satellite proof: Researchers ...

Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious feedback loop that could accelerate climate change even more, according to a new study published May 7 in Nature.

A volcanic eruption in the South Pacific cleaned up its own methane pollution, offering a potential mechanism for removing this potent greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.

Discover how satellite data from the 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai suggests an unusual chemical reaction rapidly broke down methane high in the atmosphere. Although volcanic eruptions are ...

Rising temperatures could tip the scale in an underground battle that has raged for millennia. In the soils of Earth’s wetlands, microbes are fighting to both produce and consume the powerful ...

The latest study finds that emissions of the potent greenhouse gas might be higher than previously estimated. Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious ...
