| Dinosaurs Breathed An Oxygen-Rich Atmosphere Posted: 17 Nov 2010 10:02 PM PST Analysis of gas trapped in amber reveals that oxygen made up about 30% of the Cretaceous atmosphere compared to about 21% today.    |
| Bakken Shale Technology Applied Worldwide Posted: 17 Nov 2010 09:59 PM PST Technology used to produce oil from the Bakken Shale of North Dakota is starting to be used in many other locations to produce oil from rock units that were previously considered to be “impermeable”.  |
| Fire Under a Waterfall? (Its a natural gas seep!) Posted: 17 Nov 2010 09:55 PM PST Jessica Ball has a very interesting photo of a flaming natural gas seep taken where the Hanover Shale outcrops in a waterfall at Shale Creek Preserve in western New York. Check it out!  |
| Youngest Black Hole in our Cosmic Neighborhood Posted: 17 Nov 2010 09:47 PM PST “Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have found evidence of the youngest black hole known to exist in our cosmic neighborhood. The 30-year-old black hole provides a unique opportunity to watch this type of object develop from infancy.” Quoted from the NASA website.  |
| Natural Gas Gathering Lines as Public Utilities Posted: 17 Nov 2010 09:44 PM PST In Pennsylvania, natural gas gathering lines are small diameter pipelines that move natural gas from wellheads to a main line. They currently do not have the same status as a public utility – but if they acquired that designation they would have the power of eminent domain – and many things would change in the natural gas industry.  |

| Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions with Natural Gas Posted: 17 Nov 2010 09:05 PM PST Thanks to a number of shale gas plays in the United States the supply of natural gas is up and the price is down. This article reviews opportunities for natural gas to displace other fuels that emit more carbon dioxide when they are used.  |
| Raven Maps: Spectacular State Wall Maps Posted: 17 Nov 2010 09:01 PM PST Raven Maps are some of the most beautiful wall maps that you can find. They show the elevation and relief of a complete state through a skillful use of vibrant colors and topographic shading. Maps are available for individual states, the Conterminous United States, North America, Mexico and the world.  |
| Printable Ternary Diagram Paper Posted: 17 Nov 2010 09:01 PM PST This paper can be difficult to find. Here’s a website where you can download a PDF and print it for free. Other hard-to-find graphing papers include polar, isometric and isometric dot – all as free PDF files.  |
