Heavy Duty: Bacteria Could Take on Radioactive Waste

September 8, 2009

Source: Discovery Channel News Blog By: Alyssa Danigelis Cleaning radioactive metal contamination is a challenging business–expensive, tedious, and sometimes nearly impossible…. Mizzou's Judy Wall is studying a widespread sulfate-reducing–and stinky–bacterium called Desulfovibrio vulgaris found in soil that metabolizes radioactive and heavy metals…. Wall's colleague at LBNL Terry Hazen is also conducting experiments with contaminated soil.…

Curtis Oldenburg presents on Geologic Carbon Sequestration at the 2009 LBNL Summer Lecture Series

July 21, 2009

Source: 2009 Summer Lecture Series [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/v/1UOLEKpwHIs&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0] Climate change provides strong motivation to reduce CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide capture and storage involves the capture, compression, and transport of CO2 to geologically favorable areas, where it’s injected into porous rock more than one kilometer underground for permanent storage. Curtis Oldenburg, who…

NSF Funding: Carbon Flux Explorers to Become Operational

July 17, 2009

Jim Bishop and his Earth Sciences Division (ESD) colleagues were first to capture important biological processes of the ocean carbon cycle using programmable Carbon Explorer floats, which measure carbon particles at depth and then resurface to report by satellite. Thanks to three-year funding from the National Science Foundation, improved Carbon Flux Explorers, capable of imaging…
