• Methane emissions from wetlands: biogeochemical, microbial, and modeling perspectives from local to global scales (2013, methodology): “This atmospheric record has provided top-down methods with an invaluable dataset with which to attempt to examine sources and sinks of CH4 over time (Dlugokencky et al., 2011).”
• Global wetland contribution to 2000–2012 atmospheric methane growth rate dynamics (2017, background): “Thermogenic, or fossil-fuel related emissions, are unlikely to have decreased in recent years (Bergamaschi et al 2013, Nisbet et al 2014), and recent studies based on isotopic 𝛿 13 C con-firm a large biogenic source (Dlugokencky et al 2011, Rice et al 2016, Schaefer et al 2016).”
• Observing the Atmospheres of Known Temperate Earth-sized Planets with JWST (2017, background): “For example, Earth-composition atmospheres in chemical equilibrium have no methane (see Figure 6), but the actual abundance of methane on Earth is about 1.8 ppm (and has increased since preindustrial times) because natural and anthropogenic sources exceed sinks (e.g., Dlugokencky et al. 2011).”
• The growing role of methane in anthropogenic climate change (2016, background): “To date, no significant contribution to the atmospheric increase from Arctic regions has been found, except in 2007 and attributable then to a relatively warm and late summer (Dlugokencky et al 2011).”
• Atmospheric CH4 in the first decade of the 21st century: Inverse modeling analysis using SCIAMACHY satellite retrievals and NOAA surface measurements (2013, background): “Atmospheric CH4 has been measured directly since the late 1970s [Blake and Rowland, 1988; Cunnold et al., 2002; Dlugokencky et al., 1994a, 2011].”
