Scientists Use Krypton Dating to Estimate Antarctic Ice's Age
2014-04-22 11:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Researchers have used radiometric krypton-dating to find the age of ancient Antarctic ice. The new technique can be used to hunt and date old ice samples. Finding old ice samples is important because it helps scientists construct and fine-tune ancient climate models. The latest krypton-based dating technique shows that the ice from Taylor Glacier in Antarctica is around 120,000 years old. Just so that we are clear, researchers here are using krypton- the noble gas and not kryptonite, which...

Two Lakes Discovered Under Greenland's Ices
2013-11-28 05:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Softpedia: A team of researchers with the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) from the University of Cambridge announces the discovery of two subglacial lakes in Greenland, the first of their kind to be found on the island. Similar formations were thus far only known to exist beneath the Antarctic ice sheets. According to the research group, these lakes are now only one third of their previous area. Measurements conducted by the team revealed that each of the two lakes covers an area of 8 to 10 square...

How Are Electric Vehicles Comparing to ICEs for Ownership Cost?
2013-07-12 00:46:15| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News
As automakers reduce prices on their plug-in electric vehicles, how does the cost of ownership compare to fuel-efficient internal combustion engine vehicles? Long term lifecycle costs for EVs are still unknown battery life is a concern for analysts, but theres still a lot to be learned about where lithium ion batteries are headed. As for the cost of the energy needed to keep the car moving, the US Dept. of Energy has started up a fueling indicator called eGallon.
