Great Lakes Pollution No Longer Driven By Airborne Sources; Land, Rivers Now Bigger Factors
2015-01-13 15:54:40| pollutiononline Home Page
A chemical oceanographer at the University of Rhode Island who measured organic pollutants in the air and water around Lake Erie and Lake Ontario has found that airborne emissions are no longer the primary cause of the lakes’ contamination. Instead, most of the lakes’ chemical pollutants come from sources on land or in rivers.

ScienceDaily: A chemical oceanographer at the University of Rhode Island who measured organic pollutants in the air and water around Lake Erie and Lake Ontario has found that airborne emissions are no longer the primary cause of the lakes' contamination. Instead, most of the lakes' chemical pollutants come from sources on land or in rivers. According to Rainer Lohmann, professor of chemical oceanography at the URI Graduate School of Oceanography, water quality in the Great Lakes has been slowly improving for...

Greenland's 'Supraglacial' Lakes Could Trigger Future Ice Loss
2014-12-15 22:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Previous predictions of Greenland ice loss may have been greatly underestimated, as new research shows the region's "supraglacial" lakes could trigger faster ice melt in the future. Supraglacial lakes are bodies of water that form on the ice sheet surface from melted snow and ice. According to the new study, these lakes will migrate farther inland over the next 50 years, potentially causing drastic changes in Greenland's ice sheet flow and contributing to rising sea levels.

Great Lakes water level slump over, future unclear
2014-12-11 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Two unusually wet years have finally ended the lengthiest period on record of low Great Lakes water levels ? a blessing for long-suffering cargo shippers and recreational boaters ? although scientists said Tuesday it's uncertain whether the recovery is temporary or heralds a trend. Four of the giant lakes ? Superior, Huron, Michigan and Erie ? were above their average monthly levels in November, while Lake Ontario was slightly below. In September, all five were simultaneously above average for...
