NASA sensors will soon help scientists detect methane emitted by landfills across the globe, according to the US space agency. A new project from a nonprofit group, Carbon Mapper, will use NASA instruments and data to measure emissions from solid waste sites such as landfills across the globe. Currently, there is limited actionable information about methane emissions from the global waste sector.
