USGS begins crucial study in Hinkley to determine how much chromium-6 was natural

2015-03-06 11:14:35| Energy - Topix.net

HINKLEY >> By the side of a washboard-rough dirt road, in a garage piled high with rocks neatly stored in pizza-sized boxes, the long-awaited study has begun to determine how much of the world's largest chromium-6 plume is the result of a San Francisco-based utility's operations and how much was put there by nature. The findings of this pioneering scientific effort that will span five years could add or subtract multiple millions of dollars from the ultimate environmental cleanup cost in this High Desert community.

USGS: More Data Needed to Assess Fracking-Water Link

2015-03-05 14:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Associated Press: More data are needed to be able to fully assess whether any widespread correlation might exist between recent oil and gas development in the U.S. and degraded quality of nearby surface water, a new study by the U.S. Geological Survey suggests. The study published in the American Geophysical Union journal Water Resources Research examined water quality data from 1970-2010 in areas with recent oil and gas drilling. The authors wrote they could document no trends involving surface water pollution in...

USGS report shows how global warming will shift Pacific wind and wave patterns

2015-01-31 20:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Summit Voice: Scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey have developed climate models that help show how global warming will change wind and wave patterns, potentially affecting island communities, especially as sea level rises. The new USGS report looked at U.S. and U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands, including Hawaii, where climate change is expected to alter the highest waves and strongest winds. The detailed data should help communities develop coastal resilience plans and ecosystem restoration efforts, and...
