Emissions of methane from lakes and reservoirs risk doubling by the end of the century due to climate change according to a new study from LiU and NASA. This in turn could raise Earth鈥檚 temperature more than suggested by current worst-case scenario.

Greenhouse gas emissions from many wastewater treatment plants may be more than twice as large as previously thought. This is shown in a new study from LiU, where the researchers used drones with specially manufactured sensors to measure emissions.

Watercourses release soil carbon that can be thousands of years old into the atmosphere. This runs counter to the prevailing view that it is mainly carbon from newly decomposed organic material that is released from watercourses.

David Bastviken, professor at Environmental Change, part of LiU鈥檚 Department of Thematic Studies, has received EUR 2 million through an ERC Consolidator Grant, a funding type that supports excellent research.

Climate-sensitive regions in the north are home to most of the world鈥檚 lakes. New research shows that these freshwaters are critical emitters of methane, a more effective greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

It is well-known that trees help the climate by taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. But it is now clear that trees have another important role to play.

A mystery has finally been solved. Researchers from LiU and Helmholtz Munich have discovered that a certain type of chemical reaction can explain why organic matter found in rivers and lakes is so resistant to degradation.

Methane fluxes from lakes are higher during the day than the night, according to a study conducted by LiU researchers. Consequently, the contribution of northern lakes to global methane emissions is 15 per cent lower than previously estimated.

Methane emissions via trees growing in the Amazon basin equal the emissions from all of the world鈥檚 oceans or the Arctic tundra wetlands, according to a new study by scientists from, among others, 福利姬 in Sweden.
