Volume 9.2, Spring

Water Research Targets Trees—Anecdotal evidence suggests that trees growing along stream channels take large amounts of water from the alluvial aquifers, but little research has been conducted in Kansas to quantify the impact of water use by trees

Volume 9.3, Fall

Kansas Energy—As new sources of energy are being considered and developed, Kansans will have to balance environmental concerns about energy availability and revenue. It won't be easy, but it can't be avoided.

Volume 8.3, Fall

Web-Based CO2 DataThe database provides the tools to analyze the amount of carbon dioxide available from a source, the geological feasibility of using underground reservoirs, the long-term effects on the reservoir, and the cost of compression and transportation from the CO2 source to the sequestration. site.


2001

Volume 7.1,Winter

Energy Production in Kansas—This higher demand means that natural gas in storage is at a record low. The country could face spot shortages in the spring of 2001 and the following winter.
