Dr. Ermias Kebreab has been appointed to the Committee on Anthropogenic Methane Emissions in the United States by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
At the request of NASA, NOAA, EPA, and DOE, this study will examine approaches to measuring, monitoring, reporting, and developing inventories of anthropogenic emissions of methane to the atmosphere. The geographic scope of this study is limited to the United States. This study will assess published inventories of U.S. methane emissions, characterize their uncertainty, and identify opportunities for improving these estimates.
