UW Discovery Farms to track sediment and nutrient loss on grain farms

2015-07-20 06:00:00| Corn & Soybean Digest

PIGEON FALLS, WI; June 30th, 2015 - After 12 years of monitoring water quality on farms with manure applied to forage crops, the UW Discovery Farms® Program is adding a grain based farm. The Roger Rebout and Sons Farm, a 3,000 acre cash grain operation, is the first of several new core farms in Rock County, Wisconsin. read more

Large Sediment Plumes Flowing from Greenland Glaciers, NASA Images Show

2014-10-02 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Yale Environment 360: Plumes of sediment-laden meltwater from southwest Greenlands glaciers are easily recognizable in this NASA satellite image captured in early September. Meltwater at the top of the ice sheet starts out relatively clean, but as it flows through glacial channels down to the ground and out into the ocean, it picks up large amounts of sediment a byproduct of the glacier scraping the bedrock. As a result, plumes, like the ones that appear light-blue in this photograph, are good markers for estimating...

Greenland Sediment Sheds Light on Sea Level Rise

2014-10-01 22:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Climate Central: The planets largest island is mostly covered in ice up to 2 miles deep. And what happens to that ice has major implications for sea level rise: Greenlands ice would raise sea levels up to 24 feet higher if it all melted. While the prospects of it all melting are extremely slim and certainly not for centuries and centuries warmer air and water temperatures have pushed enough ice to melt from Greenland each year to account for about 30 percent of recently observed sea level rise. Ice reaches...
