NASA Flights Link Methane Plumes to Tundra Fires in Western Alaska

In a new NASA Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) study, researchers found that methane hot spots were roughly 29% more likely to occur in tundra that had been scorched by wildfire in the past 50 years compared to unburned areas. The study leveraged high-end computing resources at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS).
