A mechanistic understanding of Arctic River Methane Emissions
Constraining the global methane (CH4) budget is an urgent need to predict future climate. Rivers are an important source of CH4 to the atmosphere, with surprisingly high rates of emissions in northern regions. The high emissions from Arctic rivers are driven by lateral inputs from surrounding land and are very sensitive to climate, but challenging to assess. Given the severe impacts of ongoing climate change at high latitudes, CH4 emissions from Arctic rivers have a large potential to further increase, but we are unable to quantify and predict future emissions due to a lack of process-based models that represent river CH4 emissions. The limitation arises from our poor understanding of river…
