Global warming disrupts oceans, seen lingering in the depths
2016-09-06 15:05:51| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Global warming is disrupting ocean life from plankton to whales and the heat may linger in the depths for centuries even if man-made greenhouse gas emissions are halted, an international study said on Monday. Rising temperatures in the seas were also having wider knock-on effects such as by disrupting rainfall patterns over land, spurring extreme weather events and aiding a spread of water-borne diseases, it said. "Ocean warming may well turn out to be the greatest hidden challenge of our generation,"...

Supercomputer probes depths of biofuel's biggest barrier
2016-02-18 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Ask a biofuel researcher to name the single greatest technical barrier to cost-effective ethanol, and you're likely to receive a one-word response: lignin. Cellulosic ethanol--fuel derived from woody plants and waste biomass--has the potential to become an affordable, renewable transportation fuel that rivals gasoline, but lignin, one of the most ubiquitous components of the plant cell wall, gets in the way. In nature, the resilient lignin polymer helps provide the scaffolding for plants, reinforcing...

In the depths: drilling for oil in the Black Sea
2016-02-04 01:00:00| Offshore Technology
The Black Sea holds vast volumes of oil and gas, much of it in deep water, where several companies have begun to explore. A few large discoveries have sparked hope of a big reward, but with some areas having more abundant reserves than others, invest
