Online resources: Summary: At the request of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine established the Committee on Anthropogenic Methane Emissions in the United States. This necessitated bringing together a group of experts in fields ranging from measurements and modeling of atmospheric gases, to petroleum and gas exploration, recovery and distribution; enteric fermentation in farm animals; landfill gas production and gas recovery; management of animal waste on farms; coal mine gases; national and international policies on atmospheric pollutants and greenhouse gases; and environmental statisticsSummary: Intro; FrontMatter; Acknowledgments; Preface; Contents; Summary; 1 Introduction; 2 Current Inventories of Methane Emissions; 3 Methane Emission Measurement and Monitoring Methods; 4 Addressing Uncertainties in Anthropogenic Methane Emissions; 5 Presenting Methane Emission Data and Results; 6 Meeting the Challenges of Characterizing Methane Emissions; References; Glossary; Appendix A: Acronyms and Abbreviations; Appendix B: Definition of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Inventory Categories; Appendix C: Other Anthropogenic Sources of Methane; Appendix D: U.S. Greenhouse Gas Inventory DevelopmentSummary: At the request of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine established the Committee on Anthropogenic Methane Emissions in the United States.
