Adsorption and strain: The CO2-induced swelling of coal

Enhanced coal bed methane recovery (ECBM) consists in injecting carbon dioxide in coal bed methane reservoirs in order to facilitate the recovery of the methane. The injected carbon dioxide gets adsorbed at the surface of the coal pores, which causes the c ...

Cutover peatland regeneration assessment using organic matter and microbial indicators (bacteria and testate amoebae)

Alexandre Buttler, Edward Mitchell

Cutover peatlands cover large surfaces of high potential value for biodiversity and carbon sequestration function if successfully restored but the evaluation of restoration success is not straighforward. We assessed the bioindicator value of organic mat ...

Modeling study of the interannual variability in global tropospheric hydroxyl radical and methane concentrations over the last two decades

Jérôme Drevet

Methane (CH4) is a major greenhouse gas whose global warming potential is 23 times more important than carbon dioxide (CO2). CH4 concentrations have steadily increased since the beginning of the industrial era, reaching an unprecedent level (almost 1800 pp ...

Functional microbial diversity in regenerating cutover peatlands responds to vegetation succession

Alexandre Buttler, Edward Mitchell, Andy Siegenthaler

While establishment of vegetation is the most visual indicator of regeneration on cutover peatland, the reinstatement of belowground functions is less well understood. Vegetation succession results in differences in peat quality in terms of C availabili ...

Vegetation-environment relationships in peatlands dominated by Sphagnum fallax (Klinggr.) Klinggr. in Western Poland

Mariusz Lamentowicz

We investigated species composition and relative abundance of Sphagnum fallax dominated peatlands in relation to measured environmental variables on the basis of 26 sites in the Wielkopolska region. Most of studied plots were characterised with soft waters ...

Growth of carbon nanotubes and microfibers over stainless steel mesh by cracking of methane

Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi

The

{La}_{2}{NiO}_{4}

film was synthesized on the 304 stainless steel (SS) mesh. The hydrogen reduction of La2NiO4 generated homogeneous nanocatalyst particles (probably

{Ni}/{La}_2{O}_{3}

) over which methane was cracked, producing carbon notubes/micro ...

Are Sphagnum-dominated regenerating cutover bogs C sinks or not? A study in the Swiss Jura Mountains with predictions of climate change impacts on the C balance

Alexandre Buttler, Edward Mitchell, Andy Siegenthaler

Growing peatlands are an important long-term carbon (C) sink and thus play a key role in the global C cycle. Vast surfaces of northern peatlands have been mined for peat and are currently abandoned. In these surfaces, secondary vegetation succession takes ...

Palaeoecological evidence for anthropogenic acidification of a kettle-hole peatland in northern Poland

Edward Mitchell, Mariusz Lamentowicz

We studied the Holocene developmental history of a small kettle-hole peatland in northern Poland using radiocarbon dating and analyses of pollen, plant macrofossils, and testate amoebae with the aim to sort out the influences of climate change, autogenic s ...

The feasibility of a world-wide tax on anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases: Levels and impacts of world-wide taxes on greenhouse gases

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle

A harmonized worldwide carbon tax, implemented at regional or national level, can be enforced only with an international collective action which takes into account inherent interests of all countries. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact ofthe ...

Satellite cartography of atmospheric methane from SCIAMACHY onboard ENVISAT: (II) Comparison with inverse model simulations

Jed Oliver Kaplan

We extend the analysis of a global CH4 data set retrieved from SCIAMACHY (Frankenberg et al., 2006) by making a detailed comparison with inverse TM5 model simulations for 2003 that are optimized versus high accuracy CH4 surface measurements from the NOAA E ...
