  abstract = {{F}reshwater reservoirs are a known source of greenhouse gas ({GHG}) to the atmosphere, but their quantitative significance is still only loosely constrained. {A}lthough part of this uncertainty can be attributed to the difficulties in measuring highly variable fluxes, it is also the result of a lack of a clear accounting methodology, particularly about what constitutes new emissions and potential new sinks. {I}n this paper, we review the main processes involved in the generation of {GHG} in reservoir systems and propose a simple approach to quantify the reservoir {GHG} footprint in terms of the net changes in {GHG} fluxes to the atmosphere induced by damming, that is, 'what the atmosphere sees.' {T}he approach takes into account the pre-impoundment {GHG} balance of the landscape, the temporal evolution of reservoir {GHG} emission profile as well as the natural emissions that are displaced to or away from the reservoir site resulting from hydrological and other changes. {I}t also clarifies the portion of the reservoir carbon burial that can potentially be considered an offset to {GHG} emissions.},
