Change in annual linear snow cover from 1990 to 2001. However, these observations are too incomplete to be used in climate models.) “ We may be underestimating the amount of black carbon by as much as a factor of four ,” Menon says. Black carbon alone contributes at least 30% of this sum. Menon et al. Click to enlarge.

The ATP retort has lower water requirements than previous surface retort designs, and can also utilize fine particles, thus reducing shale waste. To put these figures in perspective, emissions from all sectors in the state of Colorado equaled 24 million t of carbon in 2001. Refining of upgraded shale oil. Credit: ACS. Click to enlarge.

The paper was presented by authors Ed Tate and Peter Savagian at last month’s SAE 2009 World Congress in Detroit. The researchers began by comparing behavioral models of the three vehicles with trip information from the 2001 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) of US travel behavior, conducted by the Department of Transportation (DOT).

Volvo had proposed an early version of the Crankshaft-Integrated Starter Generator (C-ISG) in 2001; that 42V system was intended for a mild hybrid application. The water-cooled C-ISG has three functions: the starter; a generator to keep charging the battery; and power boost under certain conditions. Click to enlarge.

The research grew out of two coring expeditions sponsored by the Nyanza Project in 2001 and 2004. An estimated 10 million people live near the lake, and they depend upon it for drinking water and for food. As the lake gets warmer, we expect productivity to decline, and we expect that it will affect the [fishing] industry.
