Can Nutrient Trading Shrink the Gulf of Mexico's Dead Zone?
2013-04-17 16:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
World Resources Institute: The Gulf of Mexico has the largest dead zone in the United States and the second-largest in the world. Dead zones form when excessive amounts of nitrogen and phosphorous wash into waterways and spur algal blooms, depleting the water of oxygen and killing fish, shrimp, and other marine life. The Gulf of Mexico dead zone can range between an astounding 3,000 and 8,000 square miles. At its largest, its about the size of Massachusetts. Reducing this growing dead zone problem is a huge scientific,...

Greenland adds nutrient to ocean in side-effect of thaw - study
2013-03-11 08:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: A melt of Greenland's ice is washing large amounts of the nutrient iron into the Atlantic Ocean where it might aid marine life in a rare positive side-effect of climate change, a study showed on Sunday. Greenland's thaw, which is raising world sea levels, is also adding about 300,000 tonnes of iron a year to the North Atlantic, based on projections from the muddy melt water of three glaciers in the southwest, it said. That is similar to the amount of iron blown to the region in dust by winds....
