Geoscientists include geologists, geochemists and geophysicists who conduct programs of exploration and research to extend knowledge of the structure, composition and processes of the earth, to locate, identify and extract hydrocarbon, mineral and groundwater resources and to assess and mitigate the effects of development and waste disposal projects on the environment. Oceanographers conduct programs of exploration and research on ocean processes and phenomena, biological, chemical and physical characteristics of oceans, interactions with atmospheric and geological environments and impacts of human activity on oceans and marine ecosystems. Geoscientists are employed by petroleum and mining companies, consulting geology, geophysics and engineering firms and by governments and educational institutions, or they may be self-employed. Oceanographers are employed by governments, educational institutions and private companies engaged in exploration of seafloor deposits and seafarming areas, or they may be self-employed. 1, record 1, English, - Geoscientists%20and%20oceanographers

Les géoscientifiques incluent les géologues, les géochimistes et les géophysiciens qui exécutent des programmes d'exploration et de recherche qui visent à approfondir la connaissance de la structure, de la composition et des processus de la terre, à localiser, à identifier et à extraire des ressources en hydrocarbures, en minéraux et de la nappe phréatique, et à évaluer et à atténuer les effets des projets de développement et d'enlèvement des déchets sur l'environnement. Les océanographes mènent des programmes d'exploration et de recherche sur les phénomènes et les processus océaniques, les caractéristiques biologiques, chimiques et physiques des océans, les interactions entre les océans et les environnements atmosphériques et géologiques, et les impacts qu'a l'activité humaine sur les écosystèmes océaniques et marins. Les géoscientifiques travaillent dans des sociétés pétrolières et minières, des firmes d'ingénieurs-conseils et d'experts-conseils en géologie et en géophysique, les gouvernements et des établissements d'enseignement, ou ils peuvent être des travailleurs autonomes.

In 1992, Greenpeace initiated the development of Greenfreeze, an ozone and climate safe refrigeration technology. Greenfreeze uses a mixture of propane(R290) and isobutane(R60Oa), or isobutane as a pure gas, for the refrigerant, and cyclopentane for blowing the insulation foam... The energy efficiency of hydrocarbon refrigerators has proved to be as good as, or better than those cooled with CFCs or HFC-134a. Similarly, the efficiency of cyclopentane blown insulation foam compares favourably with foam blown with HCFC-14b. Greenfreeze refrigerators are technologically reliable. They use mineral oil for lubricant, and unlike the HFC-134a technology, present no great difficulties in servicing. 1, record 3, English, - greenfreeze%20refrigerator
