OSU researchers warn climate change will impact Eugene's drinking water
2013-07-28 15:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Register-Guard: The average temperature on Earth could increase by 3.6 degrees by the middle of this century, according to data from climate change researchers in nearly 20 countries. And that increase is enough to potentially affect the main source of Eugene-Springfield's drinking water, according to a study by Oregon State University scientists. The McKenzie River is the major source of drinking water in the Eugene-Springfeld area. The single-digit increase in temperatures predicted worldwide means the snowpacks...

"Stable" Antarctic Permafrost Melting Faster than Expected, Researchers Say
2013-07-24 14:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: The stable ice on Antarctic- the coastal permafrost- is melting faster than expected, a new study reported. Researchers said that the melting rate of the coastal Antarctic permafrost is now similar to the melt rate of permafrost at Arctic. The permafrost in Antarctic was considered to be in equilibrium, meaning that it did melt and refreeze, but its mass remained the same. The regions experienced a cooling trend in the past decade and now have stable temperatures. However, researchers have...

Wood-Boring Gribbles Intrigue Researchers
2013-07-24 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Measuring 1–3 mm long, gribbles are tiny wood borers that produce their own enzyme that can efficiently devastate wood. Researchers from NREL and elsewhere hope that by studying gribbles they can learn ways to improve the process of turning biomass into fuels. Since gribbles can break down biomass into sugars, even in harsh environments, they may be able to help as the industry searches for enzymes that can thrive in salt-rich, high-solids settings. This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:
