ScienceDaily: The continued accumulation of sand within the iconic ring-shaped reefs inside Maldivian atolls could provide a foundation for future island development new research suggests. Islands like the Maldives are considered likely to be the first to feel the effects of climate change induced sea level rise, with future island growth essential to counter the threat of rising sea levels. The study published in the journal Geology, and carried out by researchers from the University of Exeter in collaboration...

Dark Ocean Carbon Absorption Not Enough To Restrict Global Warming

2013-09-06 16:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

RedOrbit: A new study led by the University of Iowa shows that although microbes that live below 600 feet where light doesnt penetrate the so called dark ocean-- might not absorb enough carbon to curtail global warming, they do absorb considerable amounts of carbon, meriting further study. The findings of this study were published in the International Society of Microbial Ecology Journal. While many people are familiar with the concept of trees and grass absorbing carbon from the air, Tim Mattes, associate...
