Japan To Monitor Greenhouse Gases From Space

Japan's space agency will launch a satellite later this month to monitor greenhouse gases around the world, officials said Wednesday, hoping the data it collects helps global efforts to combat climate change.

Air Products to supply nitrogen to two Nokia plants in China

Air Products (NYSE:APD), a provider of a unique portfolio of atmospheric gases, process and speciality gases, performance materials and equipment and services, reported on 18 December that the company has entered into two contracts with Nokia for the supply of nitrogen to Nokia's Beijing and Dongguan plants in China for use in the latter's electronics assembly and packaging process.

Scientists turning CO2 from coal-fired plants, algae into oil

Eliminating greenhouse gases and developing new, non-petroleum-based fuels are two of America's biggest environmental challenges. University of Kentucky researchers think algae might offer an answer.

Eight wonders of the modern scientific world

From drug-dispensing jewellery to burying greenhouse gases underground, our scientists are showing the way. Stephen Cauchi looks at eight wonders of the modern scientific world — and they're all here in Victoria.

California Air Resource Board Introduces Climate Action Plan That Will Slash Greenhouse Gases and Fight Global Warming

Coalition takes shape on GHG policy, but where's the beef? (Power Lines blog)

As some hope the Environmental Protection Agency will take some action on greenhouse gases, and others hope it will not, an impressively diverse coalition said this week that it had agreed on principles for EPA to use in shaping GHG regulation. The group of 12 -- electric utilities of several types, power generators, industrials and the Environmental Defense Fund -- is "prepared to work constructively with EPA." But it was hard to find the beef.

Sintering of Au Particles Supported on TiO2(110) during CO Oxidation

Sintering of supported metal catalysts is of primary interest in heterogeneous catalysis. The presence of reactant gases, especially oxidants, often accelerates the sintering of supported metal catalysts. Our in situ studies using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) compare the sintering of Au particles supported on TiO

Where Venus' Water Went

Venus, like Earth and Mars, is immersed in a flow of charged gas from the sun. Since Venus (and Mars) doesn't have a magnetic field, gases in the upper atmosphere become charged and interact with the solar wind. Scientists think the solar wind gives the charged particles enough energy to escape and that's why Venus is losing its atmosphere. Credit: ESA

The man with a nose for volcanoes

When Ken Sims visits a volcano he's after two things - a whiff of ultra-fresh volcanic gas and samples of brand new lava. That means climbing into craters and getting uncomfortably close to bubbling lava lakes and noxious gases. Sims admits to Stephanie Pain that he loves adventure, but insists it's the data he craves, not the danger

Carbon Dioxide and Water Found On Exoplanet

Off the Rails writes "The BBC reports that evidence has been found for both water vapour and carbon dioxide on a planet 63 light years away. The planet is a 'hot Jupiter' with a surface temperature of 1173K and an orbital period of just 53 hours. The gases were found spectroscopically once its orbit had been deduced from observation. NASA hailed the news as proof that Kepler will be able to do its job of finding planets capable of supporting life." Wikipedia also has an entry on the planet, dubbed HD 189733b.

Remembering shuttle Columbia's 7 astronauts

This undated file photo released by NASA shows STS-107 crew members in their group photo. Space Shuttle Columbia crew, left to right, front row, Rick Husband, Kalpana Chawla, William McCool, back row, David Brown, Laurel Clark, Michael Anderson and Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon are shown in this undated crew photo. Columbia was destroyed on February 1, 2003, on its return to Earth because of a hole in its wing that allowed in superhot atmospheric gases. The hole was caused by a piece of foam insulation that struck the spacecraft days earlier when it was launched. (AP Photo/NASA, File)
