Carbon Levels News Stories
Current Carbon Levels News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Pacific coast turning more acidic
An international team of scientists surveying the waters of the continental shelf off the West Coast of North America has discovered for the first time high levels of acidified ocean water within 20 miles of the shoreline, raising concern for marine ecosystems from Canada to Mexico. (2008-05-23)
Compost can turn agricultural soils into a carbon sink, thus protecting against climate change
Applying organic fertilizers, such as those resulting from composting, to agricultural land could increase the amount of carbon stored in these soils and contribute significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. (2008-02-25)
Before selling carbon credits, read this
Storing carbon in agricultural soils presents an immediate option to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide and slow global warming. (2007-05-21)
Climate History Rewritten: Arctic Ice an Early Arrival
For the first time, scientists have pulled up prehistoric geologic records from the frigid vault of the Arctic Ocean. One of the findings, evidence of glacial Arctic ice from 45 million years ago, recasts a critical chapter of global climate history. (2006-06-01)
Increased environmental carbon levels - the good news!
Increasing carbon levels can be a good thing in some cases: scientists at the University of Durham propose that higher levels of inorganic carbon can have a positive influence on human health. (2006-04-03)
Watery grave for 7,700 year old who wouldn't eat her greens
University of Sheffield archaeologists have uncovered a 7,700-year-old human thighbone, which has provided new evidence about the diet of ancient people. The thighbone, which belonged to a woman living in the Mesolithic era, was found in a dried up channel of the River Trent during excavation of a gravel pit. The find was unusual because human remains of the Mesolithic era are rare, with most previously recovered from coastal sites. Even more interesting was 'The Lady of Trent's' diet. Over the years there has been much debate as to the diet of Mesolithic people, particularly in relation to the importance of seafood and plants in their diet. Stable isotope analysis of the bone showed that t (2002-08-28)
New earth observation centres announced
Two new centres which will use satellites and models to help forecast earthquakes and the effects of carbon in climate change were announced (Wednesday 17 October) by Lord Sainsbury, Science & Innovation Minister. Said Lord Sainsbury, " I am delighted to announce that the Natural Environment Research Council is establishing two new Centres of Excellence, specialising in earth observation. The Centre for Terrestrial Carbon Dynamics brings together a variety of experts who will harness information from space to achieve greater understanding of the Earth's carbon cycle. The centre will make a powerful contribution to understanding global warming brought about by greenhouse gases. Secondly, (2001-10-19)
