Is natural gas more climate-friendly? Researchers map thousands of leaks
2013-08-01 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: First of a three-part series. Bob Ackley may be the only person who has driven up and down every single street -- 1,500 miles total -- in Washington, D.C. While Ackley, a plain-speaking New Englander, enjoyed exploring the nation's capital, which he described as "beautiful," this was serious business. He was measuring leaks of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is also the main component of natural gas. Measured in terms of warming the atmosphere, methane is 25 times more potent than carbon...
Researchers Explain Arctic Lake Disappearance
2013-08-01 15:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The Arctic lake has disappeared, leaving behind ice and clouds in the region. The pool of water drained through cracks in the underlying ice July, 29. Researchers at UW Applied Physics Laboratory said that ice melts at the Arctic every summer. "Every summer when the sun melts the surface the water has to go someplace, so it accumulates in these ponds. This doesn't look particularly extreme," said Jamie Morison, a polar scientist at the UW Applied Physics Laboratory and principal investigator since...

Researchers demo how apps, chargers can circumvent Apple iPhone, iPad security
2013-08-01 13:31:02| InfoWorld: Top News
Call it a case of Jekyll apps that can hide. Georgia Tech researchers have developed a proof-of-concept attack called Jekyll that involves using Trojan Horse-style apps to sneak malware past Apple's app review process and onto iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad.

Researchers Take Closer Look at Link Between Permafrost Thaw and Greenhouse Gases
2013-07-29 21:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: In a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, researchers explain in greater detail than ever before how the thawing of the world's permafrost may result in a substantial release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and that crucial in predicting the overall effect of the process is the soil's water content. Knowing this, the researchers argue, may lead to more accurate climate models in the future. Permafrost, soil or rock that remains frozen all year round, occurs where...
