  • A declining trend of methane emissions in the Los Angeles basin from 2015 to 2020

    Open AccessVineet Yadav, K R Verhulst et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    The Los Angeles (LA) basin was responsible for approximately 20% of California’s methane emissions in 2016. Hence, curtailment of these emissions is required to meet California’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. However, effective mitigation remains challenging in the presence of diverse methane sources like oil and gas production fields, refineries, landfills, wastewater treatment facilities, and natural gas infrastructure. In this st…

  • Methane remote sensing and emission quantification of offshore shallow water oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico

    Open AccessAlana Ayasse, Andrew K Thorpe et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Offshore oil and natural gas platforms are responsible for about 30% of global oil and natural gas production. Despite the large share of global production there are few studies that have directly measured atmospheric methane emanating from these platforms. This study maps CH 4 emissions from shallow water offshore oil and gas platforms with an imaging spectrometer by employing a method to capture the sun glint reflection from the water directly …

  • Using remote sensing to detect, validate, and quantify methane emissions from California solid waste operations

    Open AccessDaniel Cusworth, Riley Duren et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Solid waste management represents one of the largest anthropogenic methane emission sources. However, precise quantification of landfill and composting emissions remains difficult due to variety of site-specific factors that contribute to landfill gas generation and effective capture. Remote sensing is an avenue to quantify process-level emissions from waste management facilities. The California Methane Survey flew the Next Generation Airborne Vi…

  • Methane emissions from underground gas storage in California

    Open AccessAndrew K Thorpe, Riley Duren et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Accurate and timely detection, quantification, and attribution of methane emissions from Underground Gas Storage (UGS) facilities is essential for improving confidence in greenhouse gas inventories, enabling emission mitigation by facility operators, and supporting efforts to assess facility integrity and safety. We conducted multiple airborne surveys of the 12 active UGS facilities in California between January 2016 and November 2017 using advan…

  • Attribution of methane point source emissions using airborne imaging spectroscopy and the Vista-California methane infrastructure dataset

    Open AccessTalha Rafiq, Riley Duren et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Methane (CH _4 ), an important greenhouse gas and pollutant, has been targeted for mitigation. Our recent California airborne survey identified >500 CH _4 point source super-emitters, which accounted for 34%–46% of the statewide CH _4 emissions inventory for 2016 (Duren et al 2019 Nature 575 180–184). Individual plumes were observed in close proximity to expected methane emitting infrastructure, including gas storage facilities, hydrocarbon stora…

  • An overview of ABoVE airborne campaign data acquisitions and science opportunities

    Open AccessCharles E Miller, Paul Griffith et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    The 2017 Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment Airborne Campaign (AAC) was one of the largest, most complex airborne science experiments conducted by NASA’s Earth Science Division. Between April and November, the AAC involved ten aircraft in more than 200 science flights that surveyed over 4 million km 2 in Alaska and northwestern Canada. Many flights were coordinated with same-day ground-based measurements to link process-level studies with geo…

  • Noticeboard

    Open AccessGeoff Swain, Andrew K Thorpe et al.ARTICLEContemporary European History1995

    The Anglo-American Conference is managed by the Institute of Historical Research in consultation with a committee of scholars from both sides of the Atlantic. Its tradition, however, has been multi-national ever since the informal meetings of historians in the University of London in 1921 which gave rise to the first Conference
