New methods are improving ocean and climate measurements
2016-06-20 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: I have often said that global warming is really ocean warming. As humans add more heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere, it causes the Earth to gain energy. Almost all of that energy ends up in the oceans. So, if you want to know how fast the Earth is warming, you have to measure how fast the oceans are heating up. Sounds easy enough at first, but when we recognize that the oceans are vast (and deep) we can appreciate the difficulties. How can we get enough measurements, at enough locations, and...

Improving poor soil with burned up biomass
2016-06-19 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Science in Japan have shown that torrefied biomass can improve the quality of poor soil found in arid regions. Published in Scientific Reports, the study showed that adding torrefied biomass to poor soil from Botswana increased water retention in the soil as well as --the amount of plant growth. When high temperatures and the absence of oxygen are used to bring about the decomposition of biomass residue from agricultural products such as grains, the result is a charcoal-rich substance called biochar....

Thirst for power: improving water efficiency in coal-fired power plants
2016-06-15 01:00:00| Power Technology
From China to India and South Africa, coal-fired power plants are being linked to water shortages and collectively consume enough water to meet the needs of one billion people worldwide. What can be done to improve water efficiency in the ever-thirst
