/channels/taxonomy/term/1963/all en /channels/channels/news/volcanic-co2-emissions-helped-trigger-triassic-climate-change-321564 <p>A new study finds volcanic activity played a direct role in triggering extreme climate change at the end of the Triassic period 201 million year ago, wiping out almost half of all existing species. The amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere from these volcanic eruptions is comparable to the amount of CO<sub>2</sub> expected to be produced by all human activity in the 21st century.</p> Tue, 14 Apr 2020 15:27:47 +0000 webfull 160061 at /channels /channels/event/ccvc-seminar-dr-kyoko-nozaki-development-new-catalytic-reactions-toward-utilization-renewable-resour-266554 <p>Carbon dioxide is one of the most attractive renewable C1 resources, which has many practical advantages such as abundance, economic efficiency, and lack of toxicity.</p> Wed, 22 Feb 2017 15:34:55 +0000 webfull 125716 at /channels /channels/news/two-mcgill-researchers-receive-500000-grants-find-innovative-uses-carbon-235359 <h4>The Alberta-based Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation (CCEMC) announced on April 15, that two Æ»¹ûÒùÔº researchers are among the 24 winners of $500,000 grants to transform carbon dioxide into useful products.</h4> <blockquote> <p>Published on April 16, 2014 | Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Publications<br />Written by: Meaghan Thurston</p></blockquote> Fri, 18 Apr 2014 06:54:31 +0000 webfull 102488 at /channels /channels/news/global-warming-%E2%80%98pause%E2%80%99-reflects-natural-fluctuation-237538 <p>Statistical analysis of average global temperatures between 1998 and 2013 shows that the slowdown in global warming during this period is consistent with natural variations in temperature, according to research by Æ»¹ûÒùÔº physics professor Shaun Lovejoy.</p> <p> Mon, 21 Jul 2014 18:06:22 +0000 webfull 103593 at /channels /channels/news/mcgill-expert-record-high-greenhouse-gases-238773 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 15:30:32 +0000 webfull 105136 at /channels
