Methane is a potent greenhouse gas about 80 times more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide during the time methane spends in the atmosphere, which is typically about a decade. This an area no NASA airborne imaging spectrometers have covered. Whereas EMIT captured the scene in an instant, an airborne campaign might have taken about 65 hours of flight time to cover the same amount of land. The blue shading covers the area captured by EMIT in one scene, which is 50 miles by 50 miles (80 kilometers by 80 kilometers). The emissions total about 49,734 pounds (22,559 kilograms) per hour. EMIT uses an imaging spectrometer to detect the unique pattern of reflected and absorbed light - called a spectral fingerprint - from various materials on Earth's surface and in its atmospherLandsat Image of the Novarupta / Katmai Area - 1990Site of the Mount St Helens Volcanic eruption, as it appeared in 2005.

One or two small explosions typically occur every few days, with effects no greater than a light dusting of ash on the surrounding cities. On August 18, 2013, a large eruption sent ash 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) above Kagoshima Bay, breaking the established pattern. It was possibly the largest eruption ever from the Showa Crater, which formed in 1946.

One of the major mining districts is located about 30 km south of Tucson. Starting around 1950, open-pit mining replaced underground operations, and the ASARCO-Mission complex, Twin Buttes, and Sierrita mines became large open pit operations. Accompanying copper mineralization, silver, molybdenum, zinc, lead and gold are extracted. In addition to the pits themselves, enormous leach ponds and tailings piles surround the pits.
