WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - A NASA study has identified more than 50 'super-emitters' of methane in Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Southwestern United States. Super-emitters are facilities,
Built to help scientists understand how dust affects climate, the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation can also pinpoint emissions of the potent greenhouse gas.
The EMIT instrument pack aboard the International Space Station (ISS) revealed the "largest ever seen" plumes of methane gas rising into the Earth's atmosphere.
To help researchers model climate effects, the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation mission will measure the composition of minerals that become airborne dust.
