Xploration ISAMO has achieved another significant milestone, advancing climate science with a remarkable publication this week in the authoritative PNAS journal for high-impact and original research.
The published study explores the effects of Saharan dust clouds on atmospheric methane and indicates Sahara dust can enhance removal of methane. Its findings have potentially far-reaching implications for understanding the global methane budget and reasons behind the accelerating increase in atmospheric methane.
This accomplishment owes its success to a shared commitment to leverage collective human potential and collaborative exploration towards a common goal, combining the invaluable contributions of passionate seafarers, atmospheric observatories and dedicated scientists in Europe and the US, helping advance research by collecting and analyzing over 500 air samples across the North Atlantic.
