Innovative aircraft-based technique records carbon emissions not tracked before from the industrial region. Innovative aircraft-based technique records carbon emissions not tracked before from the industrial region.
Using state-of-the-art aircraft-based measurements and supporting laboratory experiments, a team of Yale and Canadian researchers found that many pollutants in the air related to Canadian oil sands greatly exceed the emissions that have been previously reported.
There are data gaps in climate science that satellites can’t fill—but there are alternatives, if the scientific community will accept them.
Researchers from NOAA, NASA, Yale Engineering and 20 other universities from three countries are deploying state-of-the-art instruments in multiple, coordinated research campaigns this month to investigate how air pollution sources have shifted over recent decades.
