Recent research on the massive Aliso Canyon methane gas leak of late last year, conducted by researchers including Viper Lab PhD alumni Andrew Thorpe, was featured in The Washington Post after initial publication in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The size of the leak was of such large proportion that a NASA satellite could see the plumes of gas from space.
