Antarctica red earth energy

Hot news from the Antarctic underground

A new NASA study adds evidence that a geothermal heat source called a mantle plume lies deep below Antarctica''s Marie Byrd Land, explaining some of the melting that creates lakes and rivers under the ice sheet.

These results highlight the previously little-known but important role of the Antarctic sea-ice in regulating Earth''s energy budget. When Earth''s snow and ice cover melts, the reflectivity of Earth''s surface – known as albedo

Renewables in Antarctica: an assessment of progress to

Results: mapping progress on clean energy in Antarctica. The introduction of renewable energies in Antarctic stations progressed slowly from the first tests in the late 1980s until 2010, when wind and solar technologies became more accessible and the deployment of the technology accelerated globally.

Energy efficiency and renewable energy under extreme

Over the past three decades, improved building design, behavioral change, cogeneration, solar collectors, solar panels and wind turbines have been found to be effective in Antarctica, demonstrating that harsh environmental conditions and technological barriers do not have to limit the deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy.
