methane records

Methane records track the levels of methane gas in the atmosphere over time. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. By analyzing these records, scientists can identify trends, sources, and periods of increased emissions, helping us understand how human activities and natural processes impact the environment. These data are gathered through advanced techniques such as satellite observations and ground-based measurements, providing essential insights for developing strategies to reduce methane emissions and mitigate climate change effects.
