DOE Regional Partnership Initiates CO2 Injection in Lignite Coal Seam

Green Car Congress

The Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership Program was created in 2003 to determine which of numerous sequestration approaches are best suited for different regions of the country. The characterization phase (20032005), which defined opportunities for carbon capture and storage, has been completed.

DOE Regional Partnership Begins Core Sampling for Large-Volume Carbon Sequestration Test

Green Car Congress

Geologic carbon sequestration is expected to play an important future role in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. The characterization phase (20032005) defined opportunities for carbon capture and storage. The validation phase (2005–2009) generally involves small-scale field tests.

New NASA Satellite Survey Reveals Dramatic Arctic Sea Ice Thinning

Green Car Congress

In 2003, 62% of the Arctic’s total ice volume was stored in multi-year ice, with 38% stored in first-year seasonal ice. Changes in MY ice export, by itself, do not explain the record minimums in recent years. Yi (2009) Thinning and volume loss of the Arctic Ocean sea ice cover: 2003–2008. 114, C07005, doi: 10.1029/2009JC005312.

New Research Tools for Assessing Impacts of Aerosols on Climate

Green Car Congress

Creation of this database is a big step forward for researching long-term changes in air pollution and correlating these with climate change. Thus, they conclude, the visibility data provide a valid source from which scientists can study correlations between air pollution and climate change. NASA technique.
