Emails describe meetings between oil industry, earthquake researchers
2015-03-07 08:08:14| Electronics - Topix.net
Oil and natural gas industry representatives met with the state's head seismologist over the past several years because they were "nervous about any dialog" connecting the state's ongoing earthquake swarm and industry activity, according to a series of emails published this week by EnergyWire. The emails describe two meetings between Oklahoma Geological Survey Seismologist Austin Holland and executives of Oklahoma City-based Continental Resources Inc. In one email to a colleague, Holland said in November 2013 he had been "asked to have 'coffee' with" OU President David Boren and Continental CEO Harold Hamm.

Researchers connect climate change to food safety
2015-03-06 16:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Climate change can affect our food safety in a number of ways. In a European study, researchers at Wageningen University and Ghent University (Belgium) state that there is often a relationship between long-term changes in temperature and rainfall and vegetable and fruit contamination. For example, flooding may result in increased concentrations of harmful bacteria that can be quickly broken down again by UV light. Similarly, in one region fungi that produce toxins may increase due to global warming,...

New York Times: Drawing one of the strongest links yet between global warming and human conflict, researchers said Monday that an extreme drought in Syria between 2006 and 2009 was most likely due to climate change, and that the drought was a factor in the violent uprising that began there in 2011. The drought was the worst in the country in modern times, and in a study published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the scientists laid the blame for it on a century-long trend toward...

Researchers: Rising seas threaten rare Everglades plants

Associated Press: Rising sea levels and invasive species increasingly threaten rare plants in Everglades National Park that have not yet recovered from damage caused by orchid collectors long ago or attempts to drain the swamps, according to a 10-year survey released Monday. The report by the Institute for Regional Conservation concludes that the unique plants native to South Florida may be lost despite multibillion-dollar efforts to restore the wetlands. Other studies of the Everglades` natural resources have reached...
