Our members are involved in the
production of an extensive range of beverages including carbonated diet and regular soft drinks, cordials and concentrates, energy drinks, fruit juice and fruit drinks, functional non-alcoholic drinks,
iced teas and coffees, mineral, spring, plus packaged
water and sports and isotonic drinks.
Jacarepaguá and Petrópolis factories, which produce
ice cream products and bottled mineral
water respectively, are the other two
production sites in Rio de Janeiro.
The
ice algae seem to be one of the major players in this scheme — even the slight increase of the atmospheric temperature and liquid
water production seems to promote algae colonization across the
ice surface.
Greenland's
ice sheet melts and sends large amounts of fresh
water into the coastal
waters, where it is of major importance for local
production but potentially also for global ocean currents.
A new study shows how huge influxes of fresh
water into the North Atlantic Ocean from icebergs calving off North America during the last
ice age had an unexpected effect — they increased the
production of methane in the tropical wetlands.
In the autumns of 2007 and 2008, the rate of
ice production was very large because there was so much open
water and thin
ice — the rapid growth is completely expected.
NASA's
Ice Bridge Project is now in full
production there, showing how this strategic locked - up
water is liable to be released quicker than we thought, causing higher sea levels worldwide.
These authors postulated an extended Barents Sea
Ice Sheet, the western part of the huge Eurasian Ice Sheet51, 55, that had reached the shelf edge causing polynya - like open - water conditions (triggered by strong katabatic winds) with phytoplankton and sea ice algae production, subglacial meltwater outflow and the deposition of suspended material on the slope at site PS2138 -

ice algae
production, subglacial meltwater outflow and the deposition of suspended material on the slope at site PS2138 - 2.
Our biomarker proxy records indicate at least occasionally open -
water conditions, i.e., an
ice edge situation, that allowed phytoplankton and
ice algae
production as well as increased flux of terrigenous matter (Fig. 5a; cf., Supplementary Fig. 1).
Furthermore, the sea -
ice cover strongly affects biological productivity, as a more closed sea -
ice cover reduces primary
production due to low light influx in the surface
waters.
By considering also a phytoplankton biomarker indicative for open -
water primary
production, these extremes can be easily separated as under a permanent sea
ice cover the phytoplankton biomarker is absent but reaches maximum concentrations under open -
water conditions (Fig. 3, Supplementary Fig. 1) 31, 38.
With less sea
ice many marine ecosystems will experience more light, which can accelerate the growth of phytoplankton, and shift the balance between the primary
production by
ice algae and
water - borne phytoplankton, with implications for Arctic food webs.
Existing projections suggest an increase in primary
production at high latitudes such as the Arctic and the Southern Ocean (because the amount of sunlight available for photosynthesis of phytoplankton goes up as the amount of
water covered by
ice decreases).
But deep
water production by convection may be less, depending on how much NADW is Arctic in origin and how much is simply recirculated Antarctic bottom
water (extremely dense
water, formed as brine under the sea
ice around polynas offshore of Antarctica and sliding down the continental shelf into the depths without much mixing, creates a giant pool of dense
water extending all the way up the bottom of the Atlantic to about 60 ° N).
Surplus renewable electricity can be stored in a fleet of electric vehicle batteries, or as heat in
water heaters, or as
ice in air conditioners, and used when wind and solar
production has slowed.
Energy
production is the main driver of the state's economy, providing more than 80 % of state government revenue and thousands of jobs.168 Continuing pressure for oil, gas, and mineral development on land and offshore in
ice - covered
waters increases the demand for infrastructure, placing additional stresses on ecosystems.
The sea -
ice biome accounts for a large proportion of primary
production in polar
waters and supports a substantial food web.
