Gianni Micucci is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Civil Engineering at McGill University. He joined the university in January 2024 and works on methane emission measurements and data analysis, with a focus on non-producing oil and gas wells.
He completed a PhD at the University of Birmingham in Geography and Environmental Sciences, with research centered on nitrous oxide emissions from soil under different agricultural managements and the effects of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer application. Method development formed a key part of this work, including techniques to distinguish microbial processes responsible for nitrous oxide emissions, such as the 15N gas flux method. Micucci holds an engineering background in chemistry and physics and applies this expertise to the study of environmental processes and climate change. His contributions include publications on enhanced sensitivity of the 15N gas flux method for quantifying denitrification in soil and on combining the 15N gas flux method with N2O isotopocule analysis. He has also co-authored work on methane emissions from non-producing oil and gas wells in Canada.
McGill University study reveals dormant oil and gas wells in Canada leak microbial methane at rates 1,000 times higher than estimates, urging policy action for climate goals.
