NASA owns a lot of properties around the country, amounting to a total value of around $32 billion. These include some famous launch sites like the Kennedy Space Center, which supported some of the Apollo Mission launches,...
Scientists at Rutgers University have found that rising sea levels are linked with a number of trends around Greenland. These include vanishing Arctic sea ice, persistent weather systems and surface ice melting on the island itself. During...
New to Fondriest Environmental’s product portfolio are the Van Essen Instruments Diver loggers, which are ideal for monitoring groundwater and surface water in a variety of applications. See below for a short description of each new addition....
Salt marshes aren’t as vulnerable to sea level rise as has been previously thought, according to researchers at William & Mary’s Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). The claims that salt marshes are so vulnerable, scientists argue,...
Multiple studies are pointing to manmade climate change as the cause for continuing rises in sea levels, according to the New York Times. The level rises have been spurred by greenhouse gas emissions, scientists say. The emissions...
A new satellite for monitoring the rise of the world’s oceans has successfully been launched into space, according to the New York Times. The launch took place Jan. 17, and was completed by Space Exploration Technologies Corporation,...
The north arm of Great Salt Lake is seeing record-low water levels, according to Fox 13 TV in Salt Lake City. Hydrologists studying the declines say that the levels haven’t been this low since the 1960s. At...
Coastal marshes are complex systems, critical to the health of the environment. Whether they will be able to adjust to climate change, including sea level rise, has been a subject of great concern for many scientists. However,...
According to a release from the University of New South Wales, a rise in current global temperatures of more than 2 degrees Celsius would mean a collapse of Antarctic ice shelves, whose loss would in turn cause...
