News
September 2016 A multi-scale comparison of modeled and observed seasonal methane emissions in northern wetlands
Wetlands are the largest global natural methane (CH4) source, and emissions between 50 and 70° N latitude contribute 10–30 % to this source. Predictive capability of land models for northern wetland CH4 emissions is still low due to limited site measurements, strong spatial and temporal variability in emissions, and complex hydrological and biogeochemical dynamics...
April 2016 Why Monitoring Emissions from Permafrost Matters
A layer of soil and rock that remains frozen year round lies underneath about one-quarter of the land surface in the Northern Hemisphere. Called permafrost, this frozen layer stores a massive amount of carbon in the form of frozen organic matter and trapped gases...
December 2015 Methane Emissions in Arctic Cold Season Higher Than Expected
The amount of methane gas escaping from the ground during the long cold period in the Arctic each year and entering Earth's atmosphere is likely much higher than estimated by current carbon cycle models...
November 2014 NASA: Alaska Shows No Signs of Rising Arctic Methane
Despite large temperature increases in Alaska in recent decades, a new analysis of NASA airborne data...
June 2013 Is a Sleeping Climate Giant Stirring in the Arctic?
Flying low and slow above the wild, pristine terrain of Alaska's North Slope in a specially instrumented NASA plane...
February 2013 Ask the Expert - Is it too late to reduce climate change?
Climate change chronicles from NASA, Dr. Chip Miller, Principal Investigator of CARVE...
