Atmospheric and Environmental Gas Dynamics
Atmospheric and Environmental Gas Dynamics is a research topic within Global and Planetary Change. Science Explorer counts 64k research works in it since 1950. 24.3% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the global methane emissions, particularly related to shale gas development, hydraulic fracturing, and natural gas infrastructure. It also explores the impact of methane on atmospheric composition, carbon dioxide levels, and water quality. The papers discuss measurements, modeling, and implications for environmental and public health.
