Including Methane Emissions from Agricultural Ponds in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories
May 2024 • Martino E. Malerba, Tertius de Kluyver, Nicholas F. Wright, Omosalewa Odebiri, Peter I. Macreadie
Agricultural ponds are a significant source of greenhouse gases, contributing to the ongoing challenge of anthropogenic climate change. Nations are encouraged to account for these emissions in their national greenhouse gas inventory reports. We present a remote sensing approach using open-access satellite imagery to estimate total methane emissions from agricultural ponds that account for (1) monthly fluctuations in the surface area of individual ponds, (2) rates of historical accumulation of agricultural ponds, a…
