Evaluating ethane and methane emissions associated with the development of oil and natural gas extraction in North America

Sharp rises in the atmospheric abundance of ethane (C _2 H _6 ) have been detected from 2009 onwards in the Northern Hemisphere as a result of the unprecedented growth in the exploitation of shale gas and tight oil reservoirs in North America. Using time series of C _2 H _6 total columns derived fro...
