Impact of decadal cloud variations on the Earth’s energy budget
Nature Geoscience 9, 871 (2016). doi:10.1038/ngeo2828 Authors: Chen Zhou, Mark D. Zelinka & Stephen A. Klein Feedbacks of clouds on climate change strongly influence the magnitude of global warming. Cloud feedbacks, in turn, depend on the spatial patterns of surface … Continue reading
Atmospheric science: Energy and precipitation
Nature Geoscience 9, 861 (2016). doi:10.1038/ngeo2846 Author: Aaron Donohoe The latitude of the tropical rainbelt is constrained by the energy balance between hemispheres. An expansion of this theory that includes longitudinal variations of atmospheric heating can predict regional changes in … Continue reading
Is Graphite The Next Big Thing In The World Of Alternative Energy?
graphite core sample, Mozambique Climate change is upon us. It needs to be addressed and be a priority. Searching for sources of alternative energy is an important topic and there is an important mineral that can potentially make a huge … Continue reading
Geothermal energy: Look to the Denver-Julesberg Basin
Denver-Julesberg Basin To offset the need for fuel imports, to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and to increase U.S. energy independence, geothermal energy has emerged as an important part of the U.S. energy portfolio. This well-illustrated study, published in Geosphere this … Continue reading
