MARCH 1, 2012

Roughly 80% of the current recovered harvest in the US would need to be re-allocated for the production of bioenergy crops to meet current renewable fuel targets with existing technology, according to a new study using satellite data led by researchers from the University of Montana.

Study of lead isotopes provides insight into aerosols transport from Asia to US

DECEMBER 2, 2010

About a third of the airborne lead particles collected at two sites in the San Francisco Bay Area came from Asia, a finding that underscores the far-flung impacts of air pollution and heralds a new way to learn more about its journey across vast distances. We can use this information to guide the development of particulate transport models.
