U.S., China Launch New Wind Power Tool
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) News for Release
    (Washington, D.C.– March 10, 2006)  The U.S. Environmental  
Protection Agency's Wind Technology Partnership rolled out a new tool  
to aid energy planners and wind developers in China's Hebei province.
    The new Geospatial Toolkit identifies where wind resources lie in  
Hebei province and their proximity to features like power  
transmission lines, protected lands and access routes.
    The province is a priority in China's wind development efforts  
due to its high wind potential and closeness to major transmission  
lines and cities.
    "We all share the same environment," said Bill Wehrum, acting  
assistant administrator for Air and Radiation.  "Working together  
through this partnership, the United States can assist Chinain  
shifting to a greener, more sustainable path."
    China's high-paced economic growth has fueled a dramatic increase  
in the country's energy consumption.  Wind power is the fastest  
growing source of renewable energy in China, providing a clean  
alternative to fossil fuels while displacing greenhouse gas and air  
pollution emissions.
    The Chinese government plans to increase installed wind capacity  
from approximately one gigawatt last year to 30 GW by 2020.
    The Wind Technology Partnership is a joint effort by EPA, the  
U.S. Department of Energy, and the Chinese government to increase the  
use of grid-connected wind power in China.

Immigration In High-Skill Labor Markets: The Impact Of Foreign  
Students On The Earnings Of Doctorates
    George J. Borjas
    Abstract: The rapid growth in the number of foreign students  
enrolled in American universities has transformed the higher  
education system, particularly at the graduate level. Many of these  
newly minted doctorates remain in the United States after receiving  
their doctoral degrees, so that the foreign student influx can have a  
significant impact in the labor market for high-skill workers. Using  
data drawn from the Survey of Earned Doctorates and the Survey of  
Doctoral Recipients, the study shows that a foreign student influx  
into a particular doctoral field at a particular time had a  
significant and adverse effect on the earnings of doctorates in that  
field who graduated at roughly the same time. A 10 percent  
immigration-induced increase in the supply of doctorates lowers the  
wage of competing workers by about 3 to 4 percent. About half of this  
adverse wage effect can be attributed to the increased prevalence of  
low-pay postdoctoral appointments in fields that have softer labor  
market conditions because of large-scale immigration.

Arctic Sea Ice Faces Another Year of Decline
    from the New York Times (via sfgate.com)
    For the second year in a row, the cloak of sea ice on the Arctic  
Ocean failed to grow to its normal winter expanse, scientists said  
Tuesday. The finding led some climate experts to predict a record  
expansion of open water this coming summer.
    "We keep looking for the ice to recover, but it isn't," said Mark  
Serreze, a senior scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center  
in Boulder, Colo., which monitors the region using satellites.  
"Unless conditions turn unusually cold this spring and summer, we may  
be looking at sea ice losses in 2006 that will rival what we saw in  
2005."
    The ice retreat in September was the biggest measured since  
satellites began routinely monitoring the region in 1979 and probably  
the biggest in 100 years, according to Serreze's research group and  
an independent team at the University of Illinois. http://tinyurl.com/

A Contnient Splits Apart
    from Spiegel Online courtesy of Sigma Xi Science in the News
    Normally new rivers, seas and mountains are born in slow motion.  
The Afar Triangle near the Horn of Africa is another story. A new  
ocean is forming there with staggering speed -- at least by  
geological standards. Africa will eventually lose its horn.
    Geologist Dereje Ayalew and his colleagues from Addis Ababa  
University were amazed -- and frightened. They had only just stepped  
out of their helicopter onto the desert plains of central Ethiopia  
when the ground began to shake under their feet. The pilot shouted  
for the scientists to get back to the helicopter. And then it  
happened: the Earth split open. Crevices began racing toward the  
researchers like a zipper opening up. After a few seconds, the ground  
stopped moving, and after they had recovered from their shock, Ayalew  
and his colleagues realized they had just witnessed history. For the  
first time ever, human beings were able to witness the first stages  
in the birth of an ocean. http://tinyurl.com/ngzo7

    Human Alteration of the Nitrogen Cycle: Implications for Plant  
Growth, Food Supply, Climate, Water Quality, and Human Health
    What is the nitrogen cycle; what are its components; and how does  
it operate?  How does the operation of the nitrogen cycle affect  
humans and other living organisms? What impact are humans having on  
this natural cycle and the movement of nitrogen in various forms,  
between living organisms, soil, water and the atmosphere? How fast  
are these changes taking place?  What are the consequences and  
implications of these changes?

Meteorological Society
    Speakers: Dr. William H. Schlesinger, James B. Duke Professor of  
Biogeochemistry & Dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment and  
Earth Sciences, Duke University, Durham, NC
    Dr. James N. Galloway, Professor, Environmental Sciences  
Department, and Chair of the International Nitrogen Initiative,  
University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA
    Nitrogen: An Essential Ingredient for Life and Food
    The chemical elements nitrogen (N), carbon (C), phosphorus (P),  
oxygen (O) and sulfur (S) are all necessary for life.  With one  
exception, they are generally available in global reservoirs to  
sustain life forms ranging from single-cell organisms to vertebrates.  
It is ironic that while nitrogen has the greatest total abundance, it  
is also the element that is the least readily available to sustain  
life.  The total amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere, soils, and  
waters of the Earth is more than the mass of all five of these other  
elements combined.  However, more than 99% of this nitrogen is not  
available to > 99% of living organisms.  The reason for this seeming  
contradiction is that while there is an abundance of nitrogen in  
nature, it is almost entirely in a chemical form (N2) that is not  
usable by most organisms.
    At the very end of the 19th century, it was realized that there  
was not enough useable nitrogen available from naturally occurring  
sources to provide food for a growing global population. The pressure  
to obtain additional nitrogen for food production led to the 1913  
development of the Haber-Bosch process in Germany to produce NH3 from  
N2 and H2.
    We are now at the beginning of the 21st century.  It is estimated  
that 40% of the worlds population owes its existence to the discovery  
of the Haber-Bosch process.  This is a tremendous achievement, but in  
the process humans have become the primary source of the introduction  
of biologically-active nitrogen to continents.  There are three  
general consequences.  On the positive side, there is more food for  
more people.  On the negative side, there are large regions of the  
world where there is too much nitrogen with resulting negative  
consequences to both ecosystem and human health.  The multiple  
linkages among the ecological magnify the consequences and human  
health effects of nitrogen as it moves from one environmental system  
to another. This phenomenon is called the nitrogen cascade, which is  
defined as the sequential transfer of nitrogen through environmental  
systems, which results in environmental changes as nitrogen moves  
through or is temporarily stored within each system. In addition,  
there are also other regions, notably Africa, where there is still  
not enough nitrogen to sustain the human population.
    Implications of Excess Nitrogen
    Nitrogen is, of course, a major component of plant fertilizer,  
which we all put on our garden in the spring to ensure a bountiful  
crop.  But, too often, some of this nitrogen escapes its intended  
purpose and moves into the atmosphere or to runoff waters, with  
unexpected consequences.  Nitrogen in runoff waters, usually found as  
nitrate (NO3) causes blooms of algae growth in down-stream regions,  
including the coastal estuaries that are so important to our  
fisheries. When the algae dies and sinks to the bottom, its  
decomposition consumes oxygen, depriving fish and shellfish in those  
deep waters of oxygen condition known as hypoxia.  Large areas of the  
Gulf of Mexico, which receive runoff waters from the Mississippi, are  
depleted of oxygen nearly every summer, with catastrophic losses to  
the traditional coastal fishery in that region. Similar, hypoxic  
conditions are seen in waters affected by leakage from lagoons built  
to contain the wastes of hog and chicken farms in North Carolina.   
Excess nitrate in freshwater is a direct human health hazard and an  
indirect hazard in some areas where it leads to a release of arsenic  
from sediments. The problem of fertilizer runoff is exacerbated by  
the channelization of headwater streams, so that runoff from  
agricultural operations is often shunted directly into larger rivers.
    Excess nitrogen fertilizer also results in the emission of  
various nitrogen-containing gases to the atmosphere, especially  
ammonium (NH3), nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N2O) to the  
atmosphere.  All three have deleterious effects on our environment.   
Ammonium, which is highly soluble in rainwater, is quickly removed  
from the atmosphere, joining nitrogen in runoff waters that  
contaminate estuaries. About 20% of the nitrogen delivered to the  
Chesapeake Bay is deposited from the atmosphere, with direct  
agricultural runoff contributing most of the remainder.  Nitric oxide  
is a precursor to the formation of ozone, which is a potent air  
pollutant and health hazard for those that suffer from emphysema and  
asthma. Nitric oxide is also a component of acid rain, and excessive  
deposition of nitrogen from the atmosphere leads to losses of species  
diversity and increases in invading grasses that are a fire hazard in  
the arid Southwest.  Nitrous oxide is a gas that contributes to the  
warming of Earths atmosphere, where it is roughly 200 times more  
powerful in global warming than carbon dioxide.
    Excess nitrogen in our environment represents a human  
perturbation of the natural cycle of nitrogen in the environment.  
Industrial emissions of nitric oxide to the atmosphere must be  
reduced as soon as possible.  The problem of excess nitrogen can be  
addressed by more judicious and efficient applications of nitrogen  
fertilizer in agriculture, and by better management of wetland  
ecosystems that return nitrogen to the atmosphere in its nearly inert  
or unreactive form, N2.

    Session on high-resolution paleoclimate records
    S10-05: High Resolution Quaternary Palaeoclimate Proxies
    Using in-situ techniques such as laser ablation (MC)-ICP-MS and  
SIMS, or high-sensitivity isotopic and elemental analysis of tightly- 
spaced solid samples, annual to sub-annual-resolution records are now  
frequently produced from corals, speleothems and other palaeoclimate  
archives.  This session will focus on these high-resolution  
palaeoclimate records, the recent progress in understanding the  
controls on the spatial variability of geochemical parameters in  
palaeoclimate archives at high resolutions, and records or techniques  
that further advance the threshold at which a given proxy might be  
considered “high-resolution”.  The Abstract deadline is Thursday 13  
April 2006. For more information on session (S10-05) contact Erica
