Arctic Design: Sea Spray Icing Models to be Improved
2014-08-26 16:20:00| Offshore Technology
Sea spray icing is one of the major challenges when operating in Arctic conditions. DNV GL is now launching an industry collaboration that will develop a simulation model that bridges functional winterisation requirements and real physical conditions

Study shows sunlight, not microbes dominate CO2 production in Arctic
2014-08-26 00:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Just how much Arctic permafrost will thaw in the future and how fast heat-trapping carbon dioxide will be released from those warming soils is a topic of lively debate among climate scientists. To answer those questions, scientists need to understand the mechanisms that control the conversion of organic soil carbon into carbon dioxide gas. Until now, researchers believed that bacteria were largely responsible.

Sunlight, Not Microbes, Control Carbon Release in the Arctic
2014-08-22 20:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A vast amount of carbon stored in Arctic permafrost is being converted into carbon dioxide (CO2) once it enters freshwater systems - a process that is worrying experts tracking climate change. This process was long thought to be enabled by microbial activity, but a new study identifies that sunlight itself might be the true culprit. Traditional permafrost is frozen water trapped in soil in a region that never warms enough to the point that the ground will thaw. However, in the wake of a changing...
