Measurements that fill gaps in emission inventories: gas flares, household biomass stoves, and brick kilns
… measured in field settings, including associated gas flares, household biomass stoves, and brick kilns. For each of these sources, there were few previous measurements of black carbon (BC) aerosol and poor understanding of the variability in emissions expected. Aircraft facilitated measurements of …

Phasing-Out Gas Flaring In Nigeria: A Critical Assessment of the Regulatory Regime
The rapid development of the global oil and gas industry has led to an increase in atmospheric emissions which is detrimental to the wider atmosphere. The flaring of gas during oil exploration and production (E & P) activities alarmingly contributes to the emission of green-house gases which …

Enforcing the corporate responsibility to protect human rights in the Nigerian oil and gas industry
… particularly against multinational oil and gas companies' (MNOCs'), has been a significant challenge in Nigeria. The Niger Delta people who live in the oil-producing communities continue to have their environmental rights violated because of the widespread pollution caused by gas flares and …

Aircraft-based measurements for the identification and quantification of sources and sinks in the carbon cycle
… was used to quantify CH4 emissions from natural gas well pads in the drilling stage, which were 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than previous estimates of emissions from this stage. In addition, the first in-situ flare emission data was collected for natural gas flares in North Dakota, …

Aladdin's Magic Lamp: Developing Methods for Calibration and Geolocation Accuracy Assessment of the DMSP OLS
… from sources including cities, wild fires, and gas flares. Data from the DMSP OLS is used in a wide range of studies including mapping urban areas, estimating informal economies, and estimating urban populations. Given the extensive and increasing list of applications a repeatable method for …

Methane cold seeps: Paleo proxies, modern measurements, and instrument development
… CH4 concentration and acoustically detecting gas flares along the central Chilean Margin (Chapter 4). Finally, I describe two prototype isotope ratio laser spectrometers that I developed to enable future high-throughput benchtop clumped isotope measurements on very small amounts of carbonate …

Flow Visualization Study of Wake-Stabilized Diffusion Flames in a Crossflow: Effects of Crossflow Turbulence
Effects of crosswind turbulence on the mechanisms and flow structures affecting emissions from non-premixed wake stabilized flames from elevated stacks are investigated. In the current work, two conditions of upstream crossflow are tested to investigate the effects of turbulence on the flame, …
