As Lake Powell recedes, Glen Canyon reveals its secrets

Durango Herald: As Lake Powell recedes, Glen Canyon reveals its secrets A slot canyon beckons within Forbidding Canyon. Drought will alter the Southwest. Climate change means longer, hotter summers. Lake Powell, the second largest reservoir in the United States, can hold one and a half times the entire annual flow of the Colorado River, yet it's at only 46 percent of capacity. I could wring my hands at this. Take shorter showers -- which I do. Quit watering my lawn -- which I have. But I also see the...

Critics Call Blackout Warnings a Scare Tactic Keep Aliso Canyon Open
2016-04-13 15:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: If energy agencies and utilities ever want to scare consumers, they need say little more than "blackouts." Those rolling power outages, well remembered from the state's energy crisis of 2000-01, sit at the heart of the case California energy officials are making to keep the troubled Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility open after the worst leak by such an operation in U.S. history. But doubts are growing about warnings that Southern California could face blackouts this summer without Aliso...

Methane leaks across US pose a much greater threat than Aliso Canyon

Guardian: When Stephen Conley, an atmospheric scientist and pilot, saw an emissions indicator skyrocket in his Mooney TLS prop plane, he knew he had found a significant methane leak. His gas-detecting Picarro analyzer indicated he was flying through a plume of gas escaping at 900kg per hour. The colorless, odorless gas was enough to cover a football field to a height of 20 feet in a single day. But this flight wasnt over the highly publicized Aliso Canyon in Los Angeles; Conley was circling the Bakken Shale,...

The Antarctic Ice Sheet may be hiding the world's largest canyon system
2016-01-14 17:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature Network: Geologists studying satellite imagery of the remote Princess Elizabeth Land in East Antarctica, one of the largest unsurveyed land surfaces on Earth, have discovered evidence of a massive subglacial canyon system buried beneath the ice. Tipped off by the physical hints, the team of researchers utilized radio-echo sounding to pull back the white curtain and peer through the ice. What they found is an absolute monstrosity of geology, a canyon system believed to be more than 685 miles long and as...

Is the world's largest canyon hidden under an Antarctic ice sheet?
2016-01-14 11:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Scientists say they may have discovered the worlds largest canyon, concealed under a vast Antarctic ice sheet. A team of researchers led by Britains Durham University made the discovery using satellite data, which has shown hints of the canyon. Smaller sections of the chasm were also identified using radio-echo sounding technology, which sent radio waves through the ice to map the canyons shape in a remote section of the British Antarctic territory, the university said. When combined, the...
