Methane-rich gas emissions from natural geologic seeps can be chemically distinguished from anthropogenic leaks

Abstract Fossil methane, a key component of the atmospheric greenhouse gas budget, is emitted by fugitive leaks from petroleum industry activities and natural geologic seepage. Since the gas from these two sources can exhibit similar isotopic compositions, differentiating them using atmospheric obse...
