PhysOrg: The top predators of the Southern Ocean, far-ranging seabirds, are tied both to the health of the ocean ecosystem and to global climate regulation through a mutual relationship with phytoplankton, according to newly published work from the University of California, Davis. When phytoplankton are eaten by grazing crustaceans called krill, they release a chemical signal that calls in krill-eating birds. At the same time, this chemical signal-dimethyl sulfide, or DMS-forms sulfur compounds in the...

San Diego Free Press: Each year there are more extreme weather events not only in the US but all over the world. Most scientists agree that, as more carbon dioxide is pumped into the air and the gaseous composition of the atmosphere is changed, extreme weather events are more likely to happen. As the earth warms due to greenhouse gasses (GHGs), polar and glacier ice melts and more moisture is held in the atmosphere which is deposited in torrents of precipitation. The Arctic permafrost and subsea waters contain over...

Marin research on human waste compost could benefit the planet
2014-03-18 13:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Marin Independent Journal: ON A RANCH in West Marin researchers are looking at ways human waste could help stem global warming while keeping pasture lands fertile and healthy. Backers of the research also say using the material could save millions of gallons of fresh water and keep chemicals out of aquatic ecosystems. But can people get past the "yuck" factor? "There is a yuck factor," said Gabrielle Pecora, who is managing the project on the Nicasio ranch of John Wick, as she stood near a pile of what looked like...
