Biodiversity Could Help Protect Ecosystems from Extreme Climate

Can biodiversity help protect ecosystems from extreme conditions? That question is much on the minds of scientists and policy makers as a changing climate brings more wildly swinging conditions at the same time human activities reduce the number of species available to produce food and oxygen and help keep our planet in balance.

Subsurface Ocean Warming Could be Causing More Release of Frozen Methane

Warming ocean temperatures a third of a mile below the surface, in a dark ocean in areas with little marine life, might attract scant attention. But this is precisely the depth where frozen pockets of methane 'ice' transition from a dormant solid to a powerful greenhouse gas.

F4E and Siemens Partner to Develop Equipment to Host Power Supplies for ITER Neutral Beam Injectors

ITER will be the biggest-ever fusion device generating a plasma whose volume will be close to 840 m3 at 150 million ¢ª C, ten times the temperatures at the core of the sun. To achieve these temperatures we would need powerful heating systems using high-energy beams, in order to push together the nuclei and trigger off a fusion reaction.

New Study Finds Tight Linkage Between Ocean Currents and Climate Change

A new study of the relationship between ocean currents and climate change has found that they are tightly linked, and that changes in the polar regions can affect the ocean and climate on the opposite side of the world within one to two hundred years, far quicker than previously thought.

Tropical Species Could be Most Vulnerable to Climate Change

Climate change is perhaps felt most acutely in the Arctic right now, but by the start of the next century, animal species in the Amazon basin region will be harder hit as the Earth warms.

Researchers Develop and Test Ecological Simplification Concept in Two River Landscapes

The basic principle behind most strategies aimed at renaturalising ecosystems is to increase biodiversity by restoring natural habitat structure, which should lead to improved ecosystem services in the process. These projects often do not result in the success researchers had hoped for because the complexity of ecological relationships is so vast that it is difficult to detect the precise ecological factors that have priority over the many others in a particular case.

Emilio Bacardi Group Installs 24.75kW of Kyocera Solar Modules Atop San Juan Headquarters

Kyocera Solar Inc. and installer Dynamic Solar Solutions today announced the installation of 24.75 kilowatts (kW) of Kyocera solar modules atop Emilio Bacardi Group headquarters in San Juan, Puerto Rico, harnessing renewable energy as a solution to rising energy prices. The system will produce 34,533 kilowatt hours (kWh) annually – offsetting 100 percent of the power needs of the building – and is expected to pay for itself within five years with the help of government incentives covering 30 percent of the cost.

NREL's Comfort Suite Reveals Connection Between Human Comfort and Energy Systems

On a typical early fall morning in Golden, Colorado, the temperature outside was about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Tucked inside a unique structure at the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), two volunteers felt considerably cooler than that, but would soon be pushed past the outdoor conditions. The volunteers were participating in an experiment inside NREL's newly constructed Comfort Suite (C-Suite) designed to reveal the connection between human comfort and energy systems.
