This product consists of multiple tabular datasets and associated metadata of water quality information related to rivers, streams, and lakes in the Yukon River watershed between 2014 and 2018. This data release is apart of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) funded Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) and is an assessment of water quality and greenhouse gas fluxes within the interior of Alaska. Sampling frequency varied across locations, with some sites sampled twice a year or more. Data consist of: organic and inorganic carbon related species, carbon dioxide and methane gas fluxes calculated from manual chamber measurements, nitrogen species, carbon isotopes, oxygen and deuterium...
Drylands are considered a net sink for atmospheric methane and a main component of global inventories for greenhouse gas budgets. However, a significant portion of drylands occur over sedimentary basins hosting natural gas and oil reservoirs, with gas migration to the surface (named “microseepage”) producing positive atmospheric CH4 fluxes. In this overview, we summarize the outcomes of microseepage surveys performed in different petroleum basins, describe how the microseepage area is estimated and what are the emission factors that can be used for a preliminary global emission estimate. Microseepage frequently overcomes methanotrophic consumption occurring in dry soil throughout large areas, and it is enhanced...
