Soil Carbon Poses Climate Change Risk

The response of soil microbial communities to changes in temperature increases the potential for more carbon dioxide to be released from the world's soils as global temperatures rise, scientists have revealed.

New Satellite Data Shows Sea Level Around Antarctic Coast is Rising Faster Than Global Average

According to new satellite data compiled over the last 19 years, the sea-level around the Antarctic coast is rising faster than the global rate.

World’s Existing Power Plants to Spew over 300 Billion Tons of Carbon Dioxide into Atmosphere, Study Says

The world's accounting system for carbon emissions, run by the United Nations, disregards capital investments in future coal-fired and natural-gas power plants that will commit the world to several decades and billions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new study from Princeton University and the University of California-Irvine published Aug. 26 in the journal Environmental Research Letters.

Penn State Concludes Pipe Construction to Increase Natural Gas Service to West Campus Steam Plant

Penn State continues its pursuit of greater sustainability with the conclusion of construction on the installation of 13,645 feet (2.6 miles) of pipe to increase natural gas service to the University’s West Campus Steam Plant. Conversion from its historic use of coal to natural gas will reduce the plant’s total emissions by nearly 50 percent and help meet the University’s ambitious goal of a 35 percent overall reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 (over a 2005 baseline).

Low-Cost Device Powered by AAA Battery Splits Water into Oxygen and Hydrogen Gas

In 2015, American consumers will finally be able to purchase fuel cell cars from Toyota and other manufacturers. Although touted as zero-emissions vehicles, most of the cars will run on hydrogen made from natural gas, a fossil fuel that contributes to global warming.

Study Shows Sunlight Dominates Carbon Dioxide Production in Arctic

Just how much Arctic permafrost will thaw in the future and how fast heat-trapping carbon dioxide will be released from those warming soils is a topic of lively debate among climate scientists.

New NASA Field Campaign Set to Study Effect of Sea Ice Retreat on Arctic Climate

A new NASA field campaign will begin flights over the Arctic this summer to study the effect of sea ice retreat on Arctic climate. The Arctic Radiation IceBridge Sea and Ice Experiment (ARISE) will conduct research flights Aug. 28 through Oct. 1, covering the peak of summer sea ice melt.

Researchers Accurately Quantify Causes of Methane Emissions from Tropical Reservoirs

For the first time, methane emissions by ebullition from tropical reservoirs have been accurately quantified, revealing that this emission pathway depends on both the water level in the reservoir, which is dependent on the monsoon, and on daily variations in atmospheric pressure.

Slowdown in Global Warming Consistent with Natural Variations in Temperature

Statistical analysis of average global temperatures between 1998 and 2013 shows that the slowdown in global warming during this period is consistent with natural variations in temperature, according to research by McGill University physics professor Shaun Lovejoy.

Beef Cattle More Responsible for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Than Other Types of Animals

Eating meat contributes to climate change, due to greenhouse gasses emitted by livestock. New research finds that livestock emissions are on the rise and that beef cattle are responsible for far more greenhouse gas emissions than other types of animals. It is published by Climatic Change.
