The risk of Vostok / Susan Shaw.
Title: | The risk of Vostok / Susan Shaw. |
Author(s): | Shaw, Susan. |
Date: | 2012. |
In: | Explorers Journal. (2012.), Vol. 90(1) (2012) |
Abstract: | Describes impending access by drilling to Lake Vostok, potential benefits, and severe hazards that might arise, including contamination of world's largest source of fresh water. Reviews catastrophic human record of polluting and over-fishing oceans, and driving climate change, and compares drilling into Lake Vostok to drilling for oil in Gulf of Mexico, leading to Deepwater Horizon oil spill. |
Notes: | Explorers Journal. Vol. 90(1) :11-13 (2012). |
