Quantifying the Link Between Crop Residue Burning and Air Quality Over Punjab, Pakistan (2004–2024): A Satellite-Based Spatiotemporal Assessment

This satellite-based study of Punjab, Pakistan (2004–2024) reveals a moderate-to-strong positive correlation between crop residue burning and aerosol concentrations, yet indicates that burning alone explains less than half the variance in air quality, highlighting the critical role of other pollution sources and meteorological factors in regional smog formation.

Timing, Temperature, and Fluid Source of Beef Calcite Veins Near a Salt Dome: Implications for Overpressure and Post-Diapiric Evolution

This study utilizes U-Pb geochronology and clumped isotope thermometry on beef calcite veins near the Butler Salt Dome to demonstrate that two distinct episodes of precipitation occurred at elevated temperatures driven by the salt dome's thermal anomaly, utilizing meteoric fluids and reflecting episodic overpressure fracturing within a continuous matrix cementation history.

A Comprehensive Management Strategy: Reevaluating Methane Emission Regulations via Integrated Management Systems

This paper proposes a specialized Methane Management System (MMS), grounded in ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 frameworks, to transform methane mitigation from fragmented technical fixes into a comprehensive, organization-wide strategy that drives emission reductions, operational efficiency, and long-term climate resilience across the oil and gas value chain.
