Grist: After Sandy, scientists hunt for sewage in New York Citys harbors By James West and Tim McDonnell For most people affected by superstorm Sandy, the damage was plain to see: devastated homes, impossible traffic, even lost lives. But for Bruce Brownawell, the storms biggest consequences are buried under several meters of seawater. Brownawell is a marine scientist at SUNY-Stony Brook who has spent the last several years becoming intimately acquainted with the chemical makeup of mud on the floor...

United Kingdom: Wind farms will create more carbon dioxide, say scientists
2013-02-24 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: The finding, which threatens the entire rationale of the onshore wind farm industry, will be made by Scottish government-funded researchers who devised the standard method used by developers to calculate "carbon payback time' for wind farms on peat soils. Wind farms are typically built on upland sites, where peat soil is common. In Scotland alone, two thirds of all planned onshore wind development is on peatland. England and Wales also have large numbers of current or proposed peatland wind farms....

Scientists on Unparticle Hunt Give Earth a Spin
2013-02-23 15:00:00| TechNewsWorld
The CERN team in Switzerland uses the Large Hadron Collider to search for the elusive Higgs-Boson. A small team of researchers led by Larry Hunter, a professor of physics at Amherst College, can top them in one aspect: It is using the entire planet as a particle detector that could open up new areas of physics.
Melting permafrost: Scientists warn of dangers of trapped carbon
2013-02-23 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Spiegel: Research published Thursday in the journal Science says that even slightly warmer temperatures could start melting permafrost, which in turn threatens to trigger the release of huge amounts of greenhouse gases trapped in ice. The frosty dungeon hides a dark secret. At least a quarter of the Northern Hemisphere's landmass is frozen and, like a vault, it holds 1,700 gigatonnes of carbon. This unimaginably high quantity of carbon comes from countless generations of creatures that have lived and died...
