Guardian: The risk of uranium leakage from filtration systems used by facilities such as the Ranger mine in Kakadu could be greater than is currently acknowledged, with new research showing that the hazardous substance is far more mobile than previously thought. A study published in Nature Communications found that seemingly immobile uranium particles "piggybacked' onto iron and organic material and flowed into a stream that joined a wetland in France. The Australian Conservation Foundation said the...

Researchers at the University of Exeter and Colorado State University used a computer model to demonstrate that, providing forest conservation measures are in place, the Amazon rainforest may be more able to withstand periods of drought than has been estimated by other climate models. Many climate models over predict the water stress plants feel during the dry season because...

US Methane Levels Higher Than Thought
2013-11-26 18:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Thanks in large part to gas wells and cow farms, the United States is spewing 50 percent more methane, a potent greenhouse gas, than previous estimates have measured, according to a new study. For the study, published Monday (Nov. 25) in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers from universities and government labs fanned out across the United States in 2007 and 2008 and measured levels of methane gas in the air. Though methane breaks down in the atmosphere after...
