Raised bogs are the key source of methane in West Siberia terrestrial seeps

<p>The expansive plains of western Siberia contain globally significant carbon stocks, with the largest peatland complex in the world overlying the planet's largest known hydrocarbon basin. Numerous terrestrial methane seeps have been recently discovered on this landscape, located along the Ob and Irtysh River floodplains in hotspots covering more than 2,500 km<sup>2</sup>. The origin of methane from these seeps is a matter of both practical and academic interest. The release of even negligible portions of western Siberia's vast carbon pool will have global climate implications. We articulated three hypotheses to explain the origin and migration pathways of methane within these seeps: (H1) uplift of Cretaceous-aged methane from deep petroleum reservoirs along faults and fractures, (H2) release of Oligocene-aged methane capped or trapped by degrading permafrost, and (H3) horizontal migration of Holocene-aged methane from surrounding peatlands. We tested these hypotheses using a range of geochemical tools on gas and water samples extracted from seeps, peatlands, and aquifers across the 120,000 km<sup>2</sup> study area. Seep-gas composition, radiocarbon age, and stable isotope fingerprints favor the peatland hypothesis of seep-methane origin. We identified the dominant metabolic pathways of mid Holocene-aged <sup>14</sup>CH<sub>4</sub>, absent of oxidation, all the way from raised bogs to seeps along the floodplains of the Ob and Irtysh Rivers. Observed <sup>13</sup>C-depletion of methane, along with concentration decreases between source and seeps, could be associated with mixing between two sources with different conditions for methane production: raised bogs with CO<sub>2</sub> reduction methanogenesis and groundwater with acetate fermentation methanogenesis. Our findings highlight the importance of lateral migration between typical boreal landscapes via groundwater, implying intimate connections between them. Lateral migration may result in high methane emissions from groundwater-fed rivers of the region. These methane hotspots could be potentially overlooked in the West Siberia Lowlands and other bog-dominated regions.</p>

Supplementary material for publication "Pore-scale salinity effects on methane hydrate dissociation" by Almenningen et al

<p>Supplementary materials for publication &quot;Pore-scale salinity effects on methane hydrate dissociation&quot;</p> <p>Abstract:&nbsp;Sedimentary methane gas hydrates may become a significant source of methane gas in the global energy mix for the next decades. The widespread distribution of methane hydrates, primarily in subsea sediments on continental margins, makes the crystalline compound attractive for countries with shorelines that seek self-sustainable energy. Fundamental understanding of pore-level methane hydrate distribution and dissociation pattern is important to anticipate the gas production from hydrate reservoirs. Especially the effect of local salinity gradients on dissociation characteristics must be understood as the aqueous phase in most reservoirs is saline. We evaluate the pore-level salinity effect on hydrate dissociation experimentally using silicon-wafer micro-models capable of withstanding high internal pressures. Methane hydrates were formed with brines for a range of salinities (0.0, 2.0, 3.5 and 5.0 wt% NaCl), and we study hydrate dissociation during both depressurization and thermal stimulation, which currently are the most cost-effective production methods. The laboratory results show how initial pore-scale hydrate distribution prior to dissociation affect the melting and mobilization of gas. The local pore-water salinities influenced the stability of the hydrate structure, and led to distinct dissociation patterns due to water freshening.</p>

Mapping Russian Wetlands and Estimating Methane Fluxes

<h3>Mapping Russian Wetlands and Estimating Methane Fluxes</h3> <p><strong>Introduction</strong></p> <p>Wetlands are crucial in regulating the Earth&rsquo;s climate, acting as both carbon sinks and significant methane sources. Russian wetlands represent one of the largest and most diverse wetland complexes globally, extending across biomes from Arctic tundra to boreal forests. Despite their importance, these wetlands remain underexplored, particularly in terms of their spatial distribution and greenhouse gas contributions. This dataset provides a detailed typological map of Russian wetlands and accompanying methane flux estimates, representing the most comprehensive methane emissions dataset for Russian wetlands to date. The maps and calculations were developed in Google Earth Engine (GEE) through a combination of multi-seasonal Landsat composites, PALSAR radar imagery, and extensive field-based validation data from peatland sites across Western Siberia.</p> <h3>Data Overview</h3> <p><strong>Input Layers</strong></p> <p>The wetland mapping relied on seasonal Landsat composites (spring, summer, fall) and PALSAR radar data to capture the distinct structural and hydrological characteristics of each wetland type. Additional layers, such as GMTED topographic slope and Hansen&rsquo;s TreeCover, were included to exclude non-wetland areas and to enhance the classification by distinguishing forested from non-forested wetlands.</p> <p><strong>Training Points</strong></p> <p>A comprehensive training site database was created, integrating field knowledge, high-resolution imagery, and georeferenced photos. Approximately 2,450 representative points were selected to capture 12 primary wetland types across Russia, with each point validated against high-resolution imagery to ensure accuracy. Points were collected to represent the wide-ranging wetland ecosystems in Russia, from open water and patterned bogs to swampy and forested fens, providing robust ground-truth data for training the classification model.</p> <p><strong>Random Forest Classifier</strong></p> <p>The random forest classifier was chosen for its capacity to handle large datasets and complex relationships among input layers. Optimized for Landsat and PALSAR inputs, the classifier used over 100 trees, each making independent predictions based on subsets of data, which were averaged to produce the final classification. This ensemble approach minimized overfitting, a crucial factor for the varied ecological regions across Russia.</p> <p><strong>Russian Wetlands Map</strong></p> <p>The final <strong>Russian Wetlands Map</strong> encompasses 12 wetland types, detailing their distribution and extent across the country:</p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>Total Wetland Area</strong>: 173.96 million hectares of mapped wetlands, capturing diverse ecosystems, including bogs, fens, and swampy areas.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Open Water Area</strong>: Lakes, rivers, and smaller water bodies within wetland zones were separately mapped, totaling 42.6 million hectares.</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Emission Modeling and Ecosite Analysis</h3> <p><strong>Ecosite Proportions for Methane Emission Modeling</strong></p> <p>Each wetland type was further divided into <strong>ecosite units</strong> representing distinct, smaller areas with uniform hydrological and geochemical properties. This level of detail enabled precise methane emission estimates by capturing the variability within complex wetland ecosystems. For instance, ridges and hollows within patterned bogs exhibit unique methane emission dynamics due to differences in vegetation and water levels. Ecosite proportions for methane emission were calculated from 20-30 representative field sites per wetland type, capturing the typical area breakdown of each wetland type across Russia.</p> <p><strong>Methane Emission Period Calculation</strong></p> <p>To estimate seasonal methane emission periods across Russia&rsquo;s climatic zones, the average summer temperature (Bio10) parameter from WorldClim data was used. Bio10 values reflect seasonal variation in emission potential, correlating with longer and warmer summers in southern regions versus shorter, cooler summers in the north. Using these data, an emission period was calculated for<strong> each 50 km x 50 km grid</strong> cell based on a regression model derived from Western Siberia data:<br>Emission Period (hours) = 303 * Bio10 &ndash; 675</p> <p>This equation, which explained 98% of the variation in emission duration, provided a dynamic method for estimating emission periods across Russia&rsquo;s diverse landscape.</p> <h3>Methane Emission Estimates</h3> <p><strong>Calculation Approach</strong></p> <p>Methane emission estimates were derived from a multi-step approach that incorporated ecosystem-specific emission factors, ecosystem area, and the estimated emission period:</p> <ol> <li> <p><strong>Ecosystem Area Calculation</strong>: Area estimates for each ecosite type were derived from field-based proportions applied to the classified wetland map.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Emission Period</strong>: Calculated for each grid cell based on Bio10 data, varying continuously across climatic zones.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Methane Flux Values</strong>: Based on quantiles from field measurements within three main zones (Tundra, Northern Taiga, and Southern Taiga) to account for natural variability in methane emissions.</p> </li> </ol> <p>Using this approach, methane emissions were calculated for each 50 km per 50 km grid cell, factoring in the unique emission characteristics of each wetland type and zone. This produced a spatially detailed estimate of methane fluxes, reflective of the temperature and vegetation gradients across Russia.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Resulting National Estimate</strong></p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>Total Annual Methane Emissions</strong>: 11.39 MtCH₄ per year from all mapped wetland areas.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Open Water Contributions</strong>: 2.54 MtCH₄ per year from open water bodies, including intra-wetland lakes and rivers.</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Data Highlights</h3> <ul> <li> <p><strong>High-resolution wetland classification</strong> covering 173.96 million hectares across diverse wetland ecosystems.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Detailed methane emission data</strong> derived from multi-year field measurements and validated against climatic data, providing spatially continuous methane flux estimates across Russia.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>50x50 km&sup2; grid cell calculations</strong>, accounting for methane emission rates, emission periods, and ecosystem proportions for each cell.</p> </li> </ul> <p>This dataset serves as an essential tool for environmental scientists, climate modelers, and conservationists, supporting further research into wetland carbon dynamics, climate mitigation strategies, and regional land-use planning.

Measurement-Based Spatially Explicit Methane Emission Inventory (EI-ME)

<p>Accurate and comprehensive assessment of methane emissions, a powerful climate warming pollutant, is a key first step in reducing these emissions, while supporting the ability to track progress toward such reductions over time. While national bottom-up source-level inventories are useful for understanding the sources of methane emissions, they are often unrepresentative across spatial scales, adn their reliance on generic emission factors produces underestimations when compared with measurement-based inventories.</p> <p>In this work, we compile and analyze previous peer-reviewed measurement-based data on facility-level methane emissions in the US oil and gas sector and use these data to develop statistically robust emissions models from which we estimate total methane emissions for the population of major US oil and gas facilities.</p> <p>This dataset (EI_ME_v1.0.gpkg) aggregates the results of this measurement-based methane emission inventory (EI-ME), which is focused on oil and gas methane emissions in the US onshore production regions. The emissions estimates are spatially resolved at 0.1 x 0.1 degree spatial scales.</p> <p>The data layers in the GeoPackage are:</p> <ul> <li><em>EI-ME_gridded_ch4_emissions:</em> estimated methane emissions, spatially resolved at 0.1x0.1 degree spatial grids</li> <li><em>EI-ME_US_oil_gas_basins:</em> major US oil and gas basin boundaries, based on <a href="https://www.eia.gov/maps/maps.php">EIA</a> basin boundary definitions.</li> <li><em>EI-ME_facility_ch4_measurements_data:&nbsp;</em>A compilation of previous peer-reviewed facility-level measurement-based data for oil and gas methane emissions in the US.</li> </ul> <p>We also provide a netcdf version ("EI_ME_2021_inventory_CONUS_point1_degrees_v1.nc") which includes estimated mean oil and gas methane emissions over the contiguous US (excludes Alaska) aggregated over a slightly offset spatial grid compared to the full domain in the above .gpkg.</p> <p>Complete details of the emissions model development and dataset creation can be found in the following manuscript:</p> <ul> <li><strong>How to cite: </strong>Omara, M., Himmelberger, A., MacKay, K., Williams, J.

Data for: Single-blind determination of methane detection limits and quantification accuracy using aircraft-based LiDAR

<p>Methane detection limits, emission rate quantification accuracy, and potential cross-species interference are assessed for Bridger Photonics' Gas Mapping LiDAR (GML) system utilizing data collected during laboratory testing and single-blind controlled release testing. Laboratory testing identified no significant interference in the path-integrated methane measurement from the gas species tested (ethylene, ethane, propane, n-butane, i-butane, and carbon dioxide). The controlled release study, comprised of 650 individual measurement passes, represents the largest dataset collected to date to characterize GML with respect to point-source emissions. Binomial regression is utilized to create detection curves illustrating the likelihood of detecting an emission of a given size under different wind conditions and for different flight altitudes. Wind-normalized methane detection limits (90% detection rate) of 0.25 (kg/h)/(m/s) and 0.41 (kg/h)/(m/s) are observed at a flight  altitude of 500 feet and 675 feet above ground level, respectively. Quantification accuracy is also assessed for emissions ranging from 0.15 to 1400 kg/h. When emission rate estimates were generated using wind from High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model (the primary wind source that Bridger uses for their commercial operations), linear regression indicates bias of 8.1% (R2 = 0.89). For 95% of controlled releases above Bridger's stated production-sector detection sensitivity (3 kg/h with 90% probability of detection), accuracy of individual emission rate estimates produced using HRRR wind ranged from -64.1% to 87.0%. Across all controlled releases 38.1% of estimates had error within +/- 20%, and 87.3% of measurements were within a factor of two (-50% to +100% error). At low wind speed (less than 2 m/s) and low emission rates (less than 3 kg/h) emission estimates are biased high; however, when removed do not impact the regression significantly. The aggregate quantification error including all detected emission events was +8.2% using the HRRR wind source. The resulting detection curves and quantification accuracy illustrate important implications which must be considered when using measurements from GML or other remote emission measurement techniques to inform or validate inventory models, or to audit reported emission levels from oil and gas systems.</p>

Maps of predicted carbon dioxide and methane fluxes from waterbodies in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, Alaska

<p>In the Arctic, waterbodies are abundant, and rapid thaw of permafrost is destabilizing the carbon cycle and changing hydrology. It is particularly important to quantify and accurately scale aquatic carbon emissions in arctic ecosystems. Recently available high-resolution remote sensing datasets capture the physical characteristics of arctic landscapes at unprecedented spatial resolution. We demonstrate how machine learning models can capitalize on these spatial datasets to greatly improve accuracy when scaling waterbody CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> fluxes across the Yukon-Kuskokwim (YK) Delta of south-west AK. These datasets include carbon dioxide and methane dissolved concentrations and diffusive fluxes from a research watershed in the central YK Delta. </p>
