Ocean crust could store many centuries industrial carbon dioxide

2013-12-04 16:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: Researchers from the University of Southampton have identified regions beneath the oceans where the igneous rocks of the upper ocean crust could safely store very large volumes of carbon dioxide. The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas has led to dramatically increasing concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere causing climate change and ocean acidification. Although technologies are being developed to capture CO2 at major sources such as power stations, this will only avoid...

Reefs may help in fight against ocean acidity

2013-11-29 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Royal Gazette: While many scientists have been warning about potentially dire consequences of the oceans increasing acidity, a recent scientific paper suggested that coral reefs such as those around Bermuda might actually help offset ocean acidification. They point out the ocean is the largest natural sink for carbon dioxide (CO2), absorbing one quarter to one third of the CO2 produced by humans. However, as the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere increases, fundamental properties of seawater chemistry are also...

Greenland Ice Sheet Was Smallest When Ocean Was Warm

2013-11-26 21:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

LiveScience: In the last 10,000 years, the Greenland Ice Sheet shrank to its smallest size around 3,000 to 5,000 years ago, when ocean temperatures were also quite high, a new study suggests. The finding, published Nov. 22 in the journal Geology, suggests that ocean temperatures, not atmospheric temperatures, could be a critical factor in melting ice sheets in current global warming scenarios. Understanding the reaction ice sheets like the ones covering Greenland and Antarctica will have to climate change...
