The amount of earth’s total soil carbon in wetlands is between 20 and 30% of the approximated 1500pg of the global soil carbon and there is a substantial amount of carbon storage in soils as it accommodates three times more carbon in terrestrial ecosystems than the vegetation it supports (Post et al., 1982). Plants in coastal ecosystems represent a large sink of carbon because they have the ability to sequester carbon from both internal and external carbon sources (Houghton et al 1999), additionally

highest during the last ten years These industries produce carbon monoxide causing many problems for the earth's health like global warming and pollution. Although there is help for pollution reduction not enough is being done to preserve the earth’s natural resources-air,water, and soil. What is global warming? Global warming is; a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons

As mentioned, CSR is the business approach that a company deliver economic, environmental and social benefits for all stakeholders to contribute to sustainability. Company that implements CSR give a lot of effort to deliver the three aspects of benefits. We are going to discuss about the environment and the social benefit of Procter&Gamble(P&G). P&G is a nearly 180 years old global consumer packaged goods company which selling the personal care products and cleaning agents. P&G sells their products

The simulations of reservoir are very important and have a wide range of applications, from ground-water production to radioactive waster and the extraction of oil and gas from the subsurface. 3D reservoir modelling provides more details for multiphase flows in porous media. However, the computational cost of 3D reservoir simulations is intensive. The non-intrusive reduced order modelling technique presented here is capable of resolving 3D reservoir modelling problems while avoiding the high computational

Fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into rock to force open ground and extract oil or gas. Fracking is becoming very popular due to the amount of money large companies make by doing so. However, in the article “Burning Love” by Elizabeth Kolbert, published in the New Yorker on December 5, 2011 she argues that although fracking has made individuals and businesses wealthy, it should be banned. In this essay, I will analyze Elizabeth Kolbert’s essay by identifying and detailing

As the price of oil continues to rise it will spur a great demand for alternate energy sources to be discovered. Coal and liquefied gas a feasible substitutions for oil, however they can only be used provisionally as they are both finite resources as well. The ever-increasing price for oil has the potential to mitigate global warming as the harmful emission from fossil fuel usage promotes

In February 9, 2005, the TransCanada proposed a pipeline system that would be able to transport crude oil from Canada into the United States. The pipeline was given the name the Keystone Pipeline System. Originally, the pipeline was to run from Alberta, Canada to refineries in Illinois. However, in 2008 another proposition was raised in order to extend the pipeline even further to down to Texas. The proposition is known as the Keystone XL. The possible construction of the pipeline is a controversial

The introduction of the carbon tax in Australia. Recently, the carbon tax issue has been gaining increasing attention in Australia due to its function of reducing greenhouse gas as well as its extensive economic impacts on a range of industries, such as tourism and hospitality. The conceptual meaning of the carbon tax is “a levy applied to various operations that generate carbon dioxide” (Covey, 2009, p.329). Such a tax is introduced to achieve a desired national emission target (Covey, 2009)

and adding to gasoline to make it more efficient. This is when ethanol made its debut into the fuel industry, as an additive to gasoline. Ethanol is put into gas as a combatant against water, which can find its way into fuel tanks of vehicles. It reduces the effect that this water has on the health of the vehicle, and as a result increases gas mileage, and also increases the amount of complete combustion. Ethanol consumption has severe drawbacks pertaining to its effect on the environment. Production
