This session will provide a forum for interchange
of data and discussion of methods among those actively working in methane
oxidation studies. Both methane and non-methane trace components
are of interest. The methane oxidation session will address methane oxidation
at various scales: from small-scale laboratory studies to field-scale
optimization. Attentuation of non-methane compounds by methane oxidizers
will also be addressed.
