Abc Tv, February 09 More thorough tracking of Ohio’s seismic activity would have alerted officials that a new injection well was triggering earthquakes near Youngstown, says Lamont-Doherty seismologist John Armbruster. Russian Scientists Bore Into Ancient Antarctic Lake New York Times, February 08 Lamont-Doherty scientist Robin Bell, who studies the behavior of ice sheets, designed surveys of the lake conducted in 2000 and 2001, using radar and other techniques, which showed the shape and location of the lake. Because it is such an unusual environment, there is always the possibility that it will provide other geological insights, she said, adding, “We could learn something absolutely unique.” Russians Punch Through To Antarctic Subglacial Lake Npr All Things Considered, February 08 Lamont-Doherty geophysicist Robin Bell discusses Antarctica's Lake Vostok, buried under two miles of ice that Russian scientists reached this week after 10 years of drilling. Giant Crack In Antarctica About To Spawn New York Size Iceberg , February 02 As far as sea levels are concerned, changes in the Pine Island Glacier and other West Antarctic glaciers are far more important than shifts among the continent's other glaciers, says Lamont-Doherty oceanographer Doug Martinson. Climate Science Experts Predict Intensified Drought In Texas Houston Chronicle, February 01 The extreme drought gripping Texas and the rest of the Southwest is likely to intensify, according to a panel of Columbia climate experts who spoke on Capitol Hill on Climate Science Day. The panel consisted of Lamont-Doherty scientists Richard Seager and Mingfang Ting as well as scientist Lisa Goddard from Columbia's International Research Institute for Climate and Society. Scientists Close To Entering Antarctica's Biggest Subglacial Lake Washington Post, January 31 After drilling for two decades through more than two miles of ice, Russian scientists are on the verge of entering Antarctica's huge, unexplored and pristine Lake Vostok. Lamont-Doherty scientist Robin Bell says learning more about the subglacial world in Antarctica is essential to understanding the changing climate and how it may effect Earth. Because the continent has so much of the world’s freshwater ice, significant changes there would have a major impact on sea-level rise. |
