New research "highlights the need to identify and protect ecosystems where the carbon sink is growing rapidly"

Analysis of diamonds provides a look inside Earth's mantle

The new project will sample and analyze AMD solids from 120 AMD treatment sites at coal mines across the northern and central Appalachian coal basins in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio

Measurements reveal the relationship between individual CO2 emissions and the Arctic's shrinking summer sea ice

Rutgers professor Ashutosh Goel invents way to contain radioactive iodine

Because such devices are made of common scrap metal, they would be inexpensive and could help shift some of the energy storage burden from a centralized model to a localized one, the researchers say

"We've really accelerated hydrothermal conversion technology over the last six years to create a continuous, and scalable process which allows the use of wet wastes like sewage sludge"

Green vs. gray

Understanding the importance of these indirect effects, in comparison to the direct effects, will improve our understanding of how ecosystems respond to climate change

The researchers propose using a “bioenergy-biochar system” that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in an environmental pinch, until other removal methods become economically feasible and in regions where other methods are impractical
