Methane Is Discovered Seeping From Seafloor Off East Coast, Scientists Say
2014-08-24 20:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Scientists have discovered methane gas bubbling from the seafloor in an unexpected place: off the East Coast of the United States where the continental shelf meets the deeper Atlantic Ocean. The methane is emanating from at least 570 locations, called seeps, from near Cape Hatteras, N.C., to the Georges Bank southeast of Nantucket, Mass. While the seepage is widespread, the researchers estimated that the amount of gas was tiny compared with the amount released from all sources each year. In a paper...

Drought in Western U.S. Has Caused Land to Rise, Researchers Say
2014-08-22 18:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: The western U.S. has lost so much water during the ongoing severe drought that the land has sprung up by as much as 15 millimeters (0.6 inches), according to a study in the journal Science. Water at the surface of the earth typically weighs down the land, but the region has lost enough water that the tectonic plate underlying the western U.S. has undergone rapid uplift, much like an uncoiling spring, researchers explain. California's water deficit over the past 18 months has caused some of its mountain...
Impacts of climate change and land use on wildlife must be considered, say researchers

Blue and Green: Policymakers need to consider the impacts of both climate change and land use when studying ecosystems, researchers have said. A study has found that when the two factors are analysed together, there are variances in the findings depending on the region. Volker Radeloff, one of the researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said, For conservation, as the world is changing, we want to know, how will wildlife respond. We need to take both land use and climate into account as we look...

Older coral species more hardy, biologists say
2014-08-18 13:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: New research indicates older species of coral have more of what it takes to survive a warming and increasingly polluted climate, according to biologists from the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez. The researchers examined 140 samples of 14 species of Caribbean corals for a study published by the open-access journal PLOS ONE on Aug. 18. Jorge H. Pinzón C., a postdoctoral researcher in the UT Arlington Department of Biology, is lead author on the study....
