Study: Water Use Skyrockets as Fracking Expands
2015-07-01 15:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Oil and natural gas fracking, on average, uses more than 28 times the water it did 15 years ago, gulping up to 9.6 million gallons of water per well and putting farming and drinking sources at risk in arid states, especially during drought. Those are the results of a U.S. Geological Survey study published by the American Geophysical Union, the first national-scale analysis and map of water use from hydraulic fracturing operations. USGS map of water use from hydraulic fracturing between 2011 and...

New Study Identifies Organic Compounds Of Potential Concern In Fracking Fluids
2015-07-01 06:45:40| oilandgasonline Home Page
A new University of Colorado Boulder framework used to screen hundreds of organic chemical compounds used in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking,shows that 15 may be of concern as groundwater contaminants based on their toxicity, mobility, persistence and frequency of use.

Major midwest flood risk underestimated by as much as five feet, study finds
2015-06-30 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: As floodwaters surge along major rivers in the midwestern United States, a new study from Washington University in St. Louis suggests federal agencies are underestimating historic 100-year flood levels on these rivers by as much as five feet, a miscalculation that has serious implications for future flood risks, flood insurance and business development in an expanding floodplain. "This analysis shows that average high-water marks on these river systems are rising about an inch per year -- that's...
New study reveals mechanism regulating methane emissions in freshwater wetlands
2015-06-30 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Though they occupy a small fraction of Earth's surface, freshwater wetlands are the largest natural source of methane going into the atmosphere. New research from the University of Georgia identifies an unexpected process that acts as a key gatekeeper regulating methane emissions from these freshwater environments. The study, published in Nature Communications by Samantha Joye and colleagues, describes how high rates of anaerobic methane oxidation, a process once considered insignificant in these...
