Global warming, though disputed by some people, is actually happening, said Gary De Boer, associate professor of chemistry at LeTourneau University.
"The only part that is in dispute is the cause , is it because of people burning hydrocarbons or just a part of natural climate changes," he said.

3. 2-22, Local: Funding renewed for LeTourneau chemistry research

Recently, Dr. Gary DeBoer, assistant professor of chemistry for LeTourneau University, and undergraduate chemistry students learned that a $50,000 grant they used last year would be renewed.
"The fact that it was renewed shows that LeTourneau chemistry students are providing valuable research," he said.
The second phase of the grant from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications is for research in a relatively new area of science that examines microscopic materials called nanotubes. They are called nanotubes because their dimensions measure in the nanometers, which are one-billionth of a meter, DeBoer said.
"Chemists understand things at a molecular level, engineers at a bulk level," DeBoer said. "This technology, called nanotechnology, fills in the gap between those two understandings of materials. There are very few developed techniques to explore this particular region of size. That is why this research is so exciting."
The $50,000 grant will allow students to submit computationally intensive chemical proposals to a supercomputer at the University of Illinois throughout this year.
