A new study found up that the loss of rain forests in countries like Brazil will reduce rainfall as well as depleting hydropower generation. ... read more >>

HC-2000 is a Biostimulation and biosurfactant agent developed by Remtech Engineers that has been used on over 100 sites to bioremediate soil and groundwater contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons and solvents. Recent biodegradation efficacy testing and range finding freshwater toxicity testing demonstrates that HC-2000 outperforms degradation efficiencies and is less toxic than other products o ... read more >>

Traces of chemicals from common household products, legal prescription medications and illegal drugs are common in Minnesota lakes, according to a study released Monday. Scientists from the Minnesota Pollution Control agency chose 50 lakes at random and tested them for 125 chemicals, including substances that mimic or interfere with the actions of naturally occurring hormones.The common insect re ... read more >>

Researchers say the rapid melting of Greenland's outlet glaciers should soon begin to slow. A study by glaciologists at the University Center in Svalbard, Norway, predicts that narrow fjords and other natural processes will slow the melting -- but overall ice loss may continue. "Now we know for sure that the warmer atmosphere and ocean will result in further mass loss," said lead study author Fae ... read more >>

Here are two useful articles assessing the latest thinking on the pace at which Greenland ice loss could raise sea levels and the implications of the recent plateau in global temperatures (one acknowledged by climate scientists including Susan Solomon and James Hansen):

Michael Lemonick at Climate Central writes on new research finding it’s unlikely that the recent surge of ice flowing into th ... read more >>

Palestinians staged a protest march on Wednesday to protest Israeli denial to their villages of their water rights. Israelis now take 80% of the water from the Palestinian West Bank and each Israeli gets far more water per day than each Palestinian. The Israelis coerce the Palestine authorities into arrangements whereby Israeli squatters get the lion’s share of water. ... read more >>

Greenland's galloping glaciers will likely slow their rapid retreat in the coming century, scientists project based on a new computer modeling study.

In the study, published today (May 8) in the journal Nature, researchers resolve one of the biggest uncertainties about Greenland's future contributions to sea-level rise: the behavior of its outlet glaciers. These massive ice rivers drain to the ... read more >>
