Deep In The Pacific, Scientists Discover Biggest Volcano On Earth
2013-09-06 20:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: The world's largest volcano has until now been lurking undiscovered in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, according to a team of scientists who identified the massive object and reported their findings in the latest issue of Nature Geoscience. The newly revealed Tamu Massif volcano - located about 1,000 miles east of Japan and 4 miles below the ocean's surface - is about the size of New Mexico. It not only outclasses previous record holder Mauna Loa in Hawaii by about 60 times, but it's in the same...

Microbes Living in Deep Ocean Absorb Carbon Using Chemical Energy
2013-09-06 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: They may not absorb enough carbon to curtail global warming, but the microbes that call the deep ocean home absorb enough of it to merit further study, according to a paper published in the International Society of Microbial Ecology (ISME) Journal. Lead author of the paper Tim Mattes, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University Iowa, explained that while most are familiar with the role of trees and grass in absorbing carbon from the air, organisms such as bacteria...

Greenland has its own Grand Canyon deep under ice, study says
2013-08-30 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: A canyon similar in scale, if not in grandeur, to Arizona's Grand Canyon lies beneath Greenland's ice sheet, according to a new study. Running from deep within the island's interior north to Greenland's northwest coast, the canyon measures at least 470 miles long, six miles across at its widest, and as many as 2,600 feet deep reaching its widest and deepest points near the coast. The Grand Canyon, by comparison, is 277 miles long, 18 miles wide, and 6,000 feet deep. The portrait points to...
