Variability in modelled reservoir greenhouse gas emissions: comparison of select US hydropower reservoirs against global estimates

Variability in modelled reservoir greenhouse gas emissions: comparison of select US hydropower reservoirs against global estimates

by Colleen McNally-Murphy | Jan 9, 2023

Abstract: Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from reservoirs have most often been evaluated on a global extent through areal scaling or linear-regression models. These models typically rely on a limited number of characteristics such as age, size, and average temperature...

Year-2020 Global Distribution and Pathways of Reservoir Methane and Carbon Dioxide Emissions According to the Greenhouse Gas From Reservoirs (G-res) Model

by Colleen McNally-Murphy | May 26, 2021

Abstract Collectively, reservoirs constitute a significant global source of C-based greenhouse gases (GHGs). Yet, global estimates of reservoir carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions remain uncertain, varying more than four-fold in recent analyses. Here we...
