Is this an elaborate plot to make Plainmoor the home of all future science press conferences?

That’s such a cool PhD project!! Do you think QUB would let me do a second PhD?

Left - a large methane plume from a leaking oil and gas pipeline was detected in the Texas Permian Basin by Tanager-1 on Oct. 9. After being shared with federal and state agencies, the leak was voluntarily fixed by the operator. Right - a subsequent Tanager observation on Oct. 24 detected no methane.

2024 highlight: On Oct 9, our @planet.com Tanager-1 satellite detected a significant methane leak β€” equivalent to the CO2 emissions of driving 47 gas-powered cars for a year. The leak was swiftly reported and repaired by the operator.

Here's to many more successes like this in 2025! πŸŒŽπŸŒˆπŸ›°οΈ

Awesome work! The interpretability is so cool. πŸ‘

I wonder if you could validate methane retrievals against ground-based spectrometers like TCCON? e.g., frm4ghg.aeronomie.be
