From California dreaming to California data: Challenging historic models for landfill CH4 emissions
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2015 Improved quantification of diverse CH4 sources at the urban scale is needed to guide local GHG mitigation strategies in the Anthropocene. Herein, we focus on landfill CH4 emissions in California, challenging the current IPCC methodology which focuses on ...
