Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is providing £1.4 million to three universities to develop a new technology that helps to produce new products from carbon dioxide such as plastics and car fuel.
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a digital imaging technology leader, has been named as a 2010 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The company was honored with this award for its significant contribution to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.
Harris County Department of Education’s division, Choice Facility Partners (CFP), will be provided with Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reporting Service & Related Services from RMT, Inc., an energy and environment company.
The Johns Hopkins University today launched a master of science degree in energy policy and climate. Based at Johns Hopkins’ Washington, D.C. Center near Dupont Circle, the part-time graduate program addresses the challenges of climate change and sustainable energy systems.
Universities Australia today welcomed the release of the State of the Climate Snapshot co-authored by the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology.
On Sunday, April 25, Earth Day Network is organizing a massive rally on The National Mall to demand Congress pass a comprehensive climate bill in 2010. With the 40th anniversary of Earth Day quickly approaching, now is the time to insist elected leaders pass a climate bill that will create American jobs, cap carbon emissions and secure the nation’s future. The rally will be the capstone to a week of environmental activity in Washington and around the country.
Significant amounts of methane found to be leaking from permafrost in the East Siberian Arctic Shelf could push the world closer to the tipping points for abrupt climate changes. According to a study published in Science journal this week, about 7-8 million tonnes of methane are being released from the Shelf each year – about the same amount that the entire world’s oceans release annually. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas considered to be one of the largest contributors to climate change.
Chemicals that helped solve a global environmental crisis in the 1990s — the hole in Earth’s protective ozone layer — may be making another problem — acid rain — worse, scientists are reporting.
Whilst much research is devoted to understanding and predicting climate change, relatively little attention is focused on the effect it may have on steel infrastructure. Climate change-induced variations in relative humidity, rainfall, ultraviolet levels, wind patterns, pollution transport and the frequency of severe weather events could have a significant impact on infrastructure life and result in a potentially devastating loss of durability.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have launched a joint effort to gather enhanced climate data from spaceborne climate observation instruments planned for a group of satellites now under development.
