Estimates of sub-national methane emissions from inversion modelling Open
Methane is a strong contributor to global climate change, yet our current understanding and quantification of its sources and their variability is incomplete. There is a growing need for comparisons between emission estimates produced usin…

Estimating the size of a methane emission point source at different scales: from local to landscape Open
High methane (CH4) mixing ratios (up to 4 ppm) have occurred sporadically at our measurement site in Haddenham, Cambridgeshire, since July 2012. Isotopic measurements and back trajectories show that the source is the Waterbeach Waste Manag…

Development of a low-maintenance measurement approach to continuously estimate methane emissions: A case study Open
The chemical breakdown of organic matter in landfills represents a significant source of methane gas (CH4). Current estimates suggest that landfills are responsible for between 3% and 19% of global anthropogenic emissions. The n…
