New laser technology from NIST researchers to measure greenhouse gas emissions could bring better methods to the plant floor.

In the upper reaches of a Minnesota watershed, the water is so full of dissolved nitrous oxide that University of Illinois ...

The primary and unequivocal driver of climate change since the 1850−1900 period is the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Global mean surface warming throughout the 21st century will ...

Extrasolar gas giant planets are a necessary stop on the road to finding life elsewhere in the cosmos. Here's why we need to ...

Researchers found that emissions from streams are largely derived from nitrification processes in agricultural soils. Further, they found that stream emissions make up a much greater portion of the ...

Changing the ocean’s chemical and biological makeup could force it to pull vast amounts of planet-warming carbon from the atmosphere. But is that a line we want to cross?

The two Proba-3 satellites launched from India at 5:34 am EST (10:34 UTC) Thursday, riding a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle ...

Auroras can appear green, pink, dark red, blue, purple and even yellow! But why? The aurora, also known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis), is a ...

"If you grab water from the local streams and measure nitrous oxide, the saturation is tens of thousands of times higher than it would be at equilibrium with the atmosphere. In other words ...

Minnesota streams are saturated with nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. Study found emissions stem from agricultural ...

While these emissions make up just 0.1% of the UK’s total greenhouse gas emissions, the findings raise some interesting ...
