A section of the East Siberian Arctic Shelf (ESAS) seafloor that holds vast stores of frozen methane (CH 4 ) is showing signs of instability and widespread venting of the gas, according to the findings of an international research team led by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists Natalia Shakhova and Igor Semiletov.

Researchers from the Centre for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate (CAGE) at the Arctic University of Norway have discovered a growing Arctic abiotic methane- and methane hydrate–charged sediment drift on oceanic crust in the deep Fram Strait of the Arctic Ocean. So there is probably much more. —Joel Johnson.

Scientists from NASA and the University of Washington in Seattle conducted the most comprehensive survey to date using observations from NASA’s Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite ( ICESat ) to make the first basin-wide estimate of the thickness and volume of the Arctic Ocean’s ice cover.

A 2006 study by Wahr and Velicogna using the GRACE satellite indicated that Greenland lost roughly 684 cubic kilometers (164 cubic miles) of ice from April 2004 to April 2006—more than the volume of water in Lake Erie. This animation depicts the spread of ice loss into northwest Greenland observed by GRACE from 2003 through 2009.

Instead, companies can simply purchase and store hydrogen tanks as needed. HHC, founded in 2003 by Dr. Craig Jensen, is a spin-off from the research effort on hydrogen storage materials that has been on-going since 1987 in his laboratories in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

The growth in hydrous ethanol, which uses a blend of 94-95% ethanol to 5-6% water, rapidly increased during the 1980s, with consumption peaking in 1989. Consumption of anhydrous ethanol has grown steadily since the 1990s, peaking in 2003.

If the surface is covered with water, methane-producing bacteria break down the organic matter. Many non-polar glaciers are critical sources of drinking water and hydropower. Upwards of 80% of the warming created by the emission of manmade greenhouse gases are now stored in the world’s oceans. millimeters per year today.
