Warming Lakes Are Losing Oxygen. Climate Change & Pollution Are To Blame.
Deep waters in temperate climate lakes have already lost almost 20 percent of their oxygen supply. Originally published on Nexus Media. By Kaitlin Sullivan On a sweltering morning last July, thousands of dead fish washed onto the northeastern shores of Pokegama Lake, 60 miles north of Minneapolis. Deb Vermeersch, an official with … [continued]
Lakes Are Losing Oxygen Due To Climate Change
Climate change is contributing to falling oxygen levels in lakes across the world, according to a new study published in the journal Nature yesterday. Previous studies have shown falling oxygen levels in individual lakes, but this study is the first to look at so many lakes globally, as researchers gathered data from … [continued]

LED “Efficiency Droop” Problem Solved
One of the key obstacles to the wider adoption of LED lighting may have just been solved, nearly 15 years after its discovery — the mechanism behind the flaw known as “efficiency droop” has finally been identified, potentially leading the way to new techniques/technologies to address it. Efficiency droop is … [continued]
New High Tech Ceramics Could Boost Wind and Solar Energy
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York have been tapped for a $2 million study on the use of new nanoengineered ceramic materials to store energy, particularly from wind turbines and solar arrays. The four-year study could crack open the energy “bottleneck” inherent in wind and solar power, which … [continued]
