BU researchers identify extensive methane leaks under streets of Boston

Earlier this year, Boston University researchers and collaborators conducted a mobile greenhouse gas audit in Boston and found hundreds of natural gas leaks under the streets and sidewalks of Greater Boston. Nathan Phillips, associate professor of geography and environment and director of BU's Center for Environmental and Energy Studies, and his research partners will present these and related findings at NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory Global Monitoring Annual Conference, May 17-18 in Boulder, Colo.
