Observational constraints on methane emissions from Polish coal mines using a ground-based remote sensing network Open
Given its abundant coal mining activities, the Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB) in southern Poland is one of the largest sources of anthropogenic methane (CH4) emissions in Europe. Here, we report on CH4 emission estimates for coal mine ve…
Multi-scale measurements combined with inverse modeling for assessing methane emissions of Hamburg Open
Urban areas are hotspots for greenhouse gas emissions. The short-lived greenhouse gas methane is the second-most prevalent greenhouse gas emitted by human activities, and its reduction will help mitigate climate change effectively. However…
