ESL's Ocean Wave Energy Harvesting Advancements Make Recent News
2014-06-03 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Electro Standards Laboratories’ Wave Energy Harvesting research has been highlighted in a recent article published by Providence Business News. The article highlights the efforts of Electro Standards Laboratories, Cranston RI, in collaboration with the University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI, to develop new systems to power remote sensor buoys or other remote ocean platforms using wave energy from the ocean. The accomplishments include two different buoy designs, a Direct Drive System ...This story is related to the following:Energy Recovery Systems | Marine Energy Management System Safety & Maintenance Services |
Antarctica, the Southern Ocean, and Climate Change

Environmental News Network: A special issue of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A has been published today (Monday 2 June) which brings together a collection of papers on many of the unresolved issues relating to the Southern Ocean. Professor Michael Meredith from the British Antarctic Survey was a guest editor on the issue; 'The Southern Ocean: new insights into circulation, carbon and climate'. The research includes: Why greenhouse gases and the ozone holes are melting the Arctic sea ice but are having...

Ocean storms can influence sea ice break-up, warns study
2014-06-01 12:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Ocean waves larger than 3 metres in height can travel hundreds of kilometres below the ice before dispersing, scientists have shown. These higher waves have been gradually breaking up the surface of sea ice, highlighting the importance of monitoring sea storms. A New Zealand-led team has been running experiments off the coast of Antarctica, placing sensors along inward routes following the dispersal of the waves. At the ice edge, its quite noisy, Alison Kohout, leader of the team based out...
"The ocean so acidic is dissolving the shells of our baby oysters"
2014-05-26 13:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Treehugger: The short video below tells the story of how climate change - more specifically ocean acidification - is affecting the life of fifth-generation small oyster farmers off the coast of Washington state. It was made by The Story Group, an independent journalism company that uses storytelling to covering "critical issues of our time". I think it's a great idea to break up the rather abstract concept of 'climate change' into more concrete pieces that show how it's affecting people and ecosystems more directly....

Environmentalists battle study of New Jersey ocean bed
2014-05-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Philedelphia Inquirer: Scientists led by a Rutgers University geologist say the Jersey Shore is a world-class place to study sea level rise, and they plan to bombard a swath of the seabed off Long Beach Island with sound waves for a month this summer to unlock the secrets of what has happened in the past - and what could happen next. But environmentalists, who might normally support research related to climate change, are aghast at the prospect, saying it might harm whales and other marine mammals, as well as New Jersey's...
