Iowa State engineer works to clean and improve engine performance
The five engines in Song-Charng Kong's Iowa State University laboratory have come a long way since Karl Benz patented a two-stroke internal combustion engine in 1879.   view more (2008-09-18)

Methane Eruptions On The Sea Floor - Science article: New evidence, new methods
Methane is a highly potent greenhouse gas. In its solid, ice form, called methane hydrate, it is stored in large amounts below the sea floor. Some signs indicate that there have been repeated intense undersea methane emissions over the course of the Earth's history. Often, these emissions appeared... view more (2003-02-19)

Engineered weathering process could mitigate global warming
Researchers at Harvard University and Pennsylvania State University have invented a technology, inspired by nature, to reduce the accumulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) caused by human emissions.   view more (2007-11-08)

Ceramic tubes could cut greenhouse gas emissions from power stations
Greenhouse gas emissions from power stations could be cut to almost zero by controlling the combustion process with tiny tubes made from an advanced ceramic material.   view more (2007-08-03)

Powerful new tool to track carbon dioxide by source
Scientists from NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory released today a powerful new tool to monitor changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by region and source around the world. Called CarbonTracker, the online system will distinguish between changes in the natural... view more (2007-03-22)

First-ever study to link increased mortality specifically to carbon dioxide emissions
A Stanford scientist has spelled out for the first time the direct links between increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and increases in human mortality, using a state-of-the-art computer model of the atmosphere that incorporates scores of physical and chemical environmental processes.   view more (2008-01-04)

More star births than astronomers have calculated
The "birth rate" for stars is certainly not easy to determine. Distances in the universe are far too great for astronomers to be able to count all the newly formed celestial bodies with the aid of a telescope.   view more (2008-10-02)

TREATING POLLUTED LAND WITH CARBON DIOXIDE
First a granular binder containing products which react with carbon is added to the contaminated soil and then carbon dioxide is pumped into the mixture. The three components rapidly combine to produce a cement that is very stable, and although marginally more expensive is immediately available for... view more (1999-11-25)

Robust sensor yields cleaner car exhaust
Emissions from cars have to be reduced further in order to meet today's environmental demands. A new and robust exhaust sensor developed by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden has proven to meter the consistency of exhaust gases extremely well and is now on its way to the market.   view more (2005-04-27)

Confirmed - deforestation plays critical climate change role
Dr Pep Canadell, from the Global Carbon Project and CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, says today in the journal Science that tropical deforestation releases 1.5 billion tonnes of carbon each year into the atmosphere.   view more (2007-05-14)

UNH Scientists Continue To Fly High As NASA Unlocks The Puzzle Of Global Air Quality
The National Aeronautic and Space Administration's (NASA) DC-8 research aircraft is arguably the world's most sophisticated flying laboratory and scientists from the University of New Hampshire have been onboard the jet conducting one-of-a-kind science for the past two decades.   view more (2006-04-28)

Better regional monitoring of CO2 needed as global levels continue rising
Monitoring Earth's rising greenhouse gas levels will require a global data collection network 10 times larger than the one currently in place in order to quantify regional progress in emission reductions, according to a new research commentary by University of Colorado and NOAA researchers... view more (2008-04-25)

UN body asks Lund Researchers to investigate new type of carbon sink
Trade in emission rights is intended to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases. Countries with natural carbon sinks—areas that absorb more carbon dioxide than they give off—can ‘trade off’ that resource in return for their commitments to reduce emissions. Thus far this... view more (2001-11-09)

Frozen methane chunks not responsible for abrupt increases in atmospheric methane
Icy chunks of frozen methane and water are not responsible for the periodic increases in atmospheric methane recorded in Greenland ice cores.   view more (2006-02-10)

Major grant drives forward cost efficient solar power
Whether the search for alternative energy sources is driven by our concern about global fossil fuel supplies or over the atmospheric effects of burning of fossil fuels, the government has laid out its aim to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 60% of 1990 levels by 2050, and aims to over- achieve its... view more (2004-09-14)

Air Quality Expert Advises Urban Planners to Think `Fuzzy`
Housing and traffic should be kept separate by urban environmental planning claims Professor Bernard Fisher of the National Centre for Risk Assessment and Options Appraisals. In a recent lecture at the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI), Fisher stated that even an extra 10 meters distance could... view more (2001-12-07)

Astronomers discover two new planets, both among the hottest ever
Astronomers have discovered two new planets outside our solar system, both extremely close to their stars and thus among the hottest ever found.   view more (2006-09-27)

Shift toward services industries won't end global warming
The shift toward a service-based economy won't automatically reduce the amount of greenhouse gases (GHS) in the air, a University of Minnesota researcher has found. His research contradicts assumptions about global warming often preferred by some economists and national policy experts.   view more (2006-11-02)

Nitrous oxide: definitely no laughing matter
Farmers, food suppliers, policy-makers, business leaders and environmentalists are joining forces to confront the threat of the 'forgotten greenhouse gas' by taking part in an influential new forum at the University of East Anglia (UEA).   view more (2008-02-19)

Greenhouse gas burial
Deep coal seams that are not commercially viable for coal production could be used for permanent underground storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated by human activities, thus avoiding atmospheric release.   view more (2007-06-26)

Ozone and UV over Europe: no sign of improvement
"The occurrence of ozone mini-holes over Europe increases and any ozone layer recovery could only become measurable around 2010 at the earliest" concludes an assessment report, released today, on European research in the stratosphere. The report concerns loss of ozone, increases in... view more (2002-01-21)
