The Swedish government is funding research into the feasibility of using a wind-turbine driven oxygen pump in the Baltic, following studies carried out last year by the University of Gothenburg, which looked at the effect of pumping oxygen-rich surface water to the bottomof two Swedish fjords.
Most models set up to try to figure out what happened during the Late Cretaceous climate changes conclude that water sank from the surface to the bottomof the ocean around Antarctica or the North Pacific.
The billionaires are bankrolling expeditions to reach the deepest place in the ocean, a spot called the Challenger Deep that lies at the bottomof the Mariana Trench, seven miles below the surfaceof the South Pacific.
Pipes have now been put in place in Lake Nyos and nearby Lake Monoun to siphon water from the lower layers up to the surface and allow the CO2 at the bottomof the lake to slowly bubble out, preventing a repeat of 1986 tragedy.
The isolation cones placed strategically in a tripod pattern at the bottom corners of the sound system reduce the vibration frequencies and provide the most stable supporting structure regardless of the surface on which it rests.
So I think the reason we're asking you this is because there's this buzz underneath the surface and we would sort of like to get to the bottom about whether the buzz is precautionary, or whether it's based on something like back-channel conversations between the administration and the industry or other players.
