Francesca Hopkins’ new paper in Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres describes the discovery of over 200 unidentified methane hotspots in the Los Angeles basin. Many of these are of fossil origin. Francesca was interviewed today on KPCC by Larry Mantle on AirTalk. A link to a transcript of her interview can be found here. Francesca was a postdoctoral scholar at UCI when she conducted this work and is now working at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
