Study Examines Financial Viability of Solar-Heated Biomass Gasification Technologies to Produce Natural Gas Substitute

Even at historically low natural gas prices, bioenergy may not be out of the running -- it just may need a little help from the sun. A new study from researchers at the University of Minnesota examining the financial viability of solar-heated biomass gasification technologies that produce a natural gas substitute product concludes that combining these renewable resources can make economic sense.

Volcanic Activity Intensity May Help Understand Variations in Earth's Climate

The intensity of volcanic activity at deeply submerged mid-ocean ridges waxes and wanes on a roughly 100,000-year cycle, according to a new study that might help explain poorly understood variations in Earth's climate that occur on approximately the same timetable.

Seafloor Volcano Pulses Can Trigger Natural Climate Change

Vast ranges of volcanoes hidden under the oceans are presumed by scientists to be the gentle giants of the planet, oozing lava at slow, steady rates along mid-ocean ridges. But a new study shows that they flare up on strikingly regular cycles, ranging from two weeks to 100,000 years--and, that they erupt almost exclusively during the first six months of each year.
