Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH 4) budget is important for assessing
realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. Atmospheric emissions and concentrations of …

Gas hydrate, a frozen, naturally‐occurring, and highly‐concentrated form of methane,
sequesters significant carbon in the global system and is stable only over a range of low …

Abstract Earth's Energy Imbalance (EEI) is a relatively small (presently∼ 0.3%) difference
between global mean solar radiation absorbed and thermal infrared radiation emitted to …

Mass production of plastics started nearly 70 years ago and the production rate is expected
to double over the next two decades. While serving many applications because of their …

Methane (CH4) is produced in many natural systems that are vulnerable to change under a
warming climate, yet current CH4 budgets, as well as future shifts in CH4 emissions, have …

The global methane (CH 4) budget is becoming an increasingly important component for
managing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. This relevance, due to a shorter …

The atmospheric methane trend is not fully understood. Here we investigate the role of the
main sink, the main natural source, and anthropogenic emissions on the methane growth …

Atmospheric methane plays a major role in controlling climate, yet contemporary methane
trends (1982–2017) have defied explanation with numerous, often conflicting, hypotheses …

The terrestrial biosphere can release or absorb the greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide
(CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), and therefore has an important role in …

This chapter addresses the biogeochemical cycles of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
and nitrous oxide (N2O). The three greenhouse gases have increased in the atmosphere …
