| Unusual Release of Carbon Dioxide from the Southern Ocean Posted: 30 Aug 2010 11:02 PM PDT A study of carbon-14 in the shells of fossil foraminifera living at the end of the last ice age, about 18,000 years ago, suggests an unusual release of carbon dioxide from the Southern Ocean at that time. |
| Chinese Investments in Afghanistan Mineral Development Posted: 30 Aug 2010 10:42 PM PDT Mineral consumption in China has been growing rapidly and Chinese interest in the mineral resources of other countries is growing. This article reviews some of these investments, in particular, two in Afghanistan. Video: Afghanistan mineral development challenges. |
| Utica Shale Activity Begins in Quebec Posted: 30 Aug 2010 10:32 PM PDT Quebec is a fossil fuel consumer with very little local production. However, some of the first wells are being drilled into the Utica Shale and hundreds more have already been permitted. |
| Helicopter Triggers a Landslide Posted: 30 Aug 2010 10:15 PM PDT The Norwegian Public Roads Administration uses a helicopter equipped with a “wrecking ball” to bash down potential rock fall hazards. |
| Can the Sun Influence Radioactive Decay on Earth? Posted: 30 Aug 2010 08:57 PM PDT “When researchers found an unusual linkage between solar flares and the inner life of radioactive elements on Earth, it touched off a scientific detective investigation that could end up protecting the lives of space-walking astronauts and maybe rewriting some of the assumptions of physics.” Quoted from the Stanford University press release. |
| Computer Models for Plate Tectonics Posted: 30 Aug 2010 08:08 PM PDT “New computer algorithms for the first time allow for the simultaneous modeling of the earth’s mantle flow, large-scale tectonic plate motions, and the behavior of individual fault zones, to produce an unprecedented view of plate tectonics and the forces that drive it.” Quoted from the California Institute of Technology press release. |
| Hurricane Earl’s Path Might Sweep the East Coast Posted: 30 Aug 2010 07:47 PM PDT Hurricane Earl is a Category 4 hurricane moving on a path that is currently expected to sweep along the eastern coast of the United States. |
