This activity aims to identify and quantify methane emission hot-spots associated with landfill infrastructure and quantify emission levels from cover soils.
This activity will measure geochemical conditions across each landfill’s survey sites and between landfill locations, and will determine the soil microbial community composition.
This activity will conduct in-depth microbial community analyses to generate predictions of microbial activity and interactions in landfill cover soils.
This activity will conduct methane-amended enrichment culture experiments to quantify cultures' methane oxidation capacity for use in landfill cover soils.
This activity will assess isotope fractionation patterns to quantify the role of microbial oxidation in controlling methane emissions in landfill cover soils.
