New study of natural CO2 reservoirs: Carbon dioxide emissions can be safely buried underground for climate change mitigation

Suzanne Hangx July 28, 2016

New research shows that natural accumulations of carbon dioxide (CO2) that have been trapped underground for around 100,000 years have not significantly corroded the rocks above, suggesting that storing CO2 in reservoirs deep underground is much safer and more predictable over long periods of time than previously thought, explains Suzanne Hangx a postdoctoral researcher at the University …[Read More]

Image of the Week – How ocean tides affect ice flow

Teresa Kyrke-Smith July 8, 2016

Ice streams discharge approximately 90% of the Antarctic ice onto ice shelves , and ultimately into the sea into the sea (Bamber et al., 2000; Rignot et al., 2011). Whilst flow-speed changes on annual timescales are frequently discussed, we consider here what happens on much shorter timescales! Previous studies have shown that ice streams can respond …[Read More]
