Global Warming Affects World's Largest Freshwater Lake
Russian and American scientists have discovered that the rising temperature of the world's largest lake, located in frigid Siberia, shows that this region is responding strongly to global warming.   view more (2008-05-01)

Scientists discover new ocean current
Scientists at Georgia Tech have discovered a new climate pattern, the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation. This pattern explains, for the first time, changes in the water important in helping commercial fishermen understand fluctuations in the fish stock. They're also finding that as the Earth is... view more (2008-05-01)

Scientists head to warming Alaska on ice core expedition
The state of Alaska has the dubious distinction of leading the lower 48 in the effects of a warming climate. Small villages are slipping into the sea due to coastal erosion, soggy permafrost is cracking buildings and trapping trucks.   view more (2008-04-30)

Entekhabi will lead science team for NASA satellite mission to map Earth's water cycle
MIT Professor Dara Entekhabi will lead the science team designing a NASA satellite mission to make global soil moisture and freeze/thaw measurements, data essential to the accuracy of weather forecasts and predictions of global carbon cycle and climate.   view more (2008-04-29)

Carnegie Mellon researchers urge development of low carbon electricity
Carnegie Mellon University's Constantine Samaras and Kyle Meisterling report that plug-in hybrid electric vehicles could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions that fuel global warming, but the benefits are highly dependent on how the electricity system changes in the coming decades.   view more (2008-04-28)

Emissions irrelevant to future climate change?
Climate change and the carbon emissions seem inextricably linked. However, new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Carbon Balance and Management suggests that this may not always hold true, although it may be some time before we reach this saturation point.   view more (2008-04-28)

Exeter engineers create new technique for malaria diagnosis
Researchers from the Universities of Exeter and Coventry have developed the first new technique for diagnosing malaria able to challenge the rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) currently used in the field.   view more (2008-04-28)

Technological breakthrough in the fight to cut greenhouse gases
Scientists at Newcastle University have pioneered breakthrough technology in the fight to cut greenhouse gases.   view more (2008-04-25)

Brown Scientists Say Biodiversity Is Crucial to Ecosystem Productivity
In the first experiment involving a natural environment, scientists at Brown University have shown that richer plant diversity significantly enhances an ecosystem's productivity.   view more (2008-04-25)

Ozone hole recovery may reshape southern hemisphere climate change
A full recovery of the stratospheric ozone hole could modify climate change in the Southern Hemisphere and even amplify Antarctic warming, according to scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA.   view more (2008-04-25)

Scientists urged to make a stand on climate
Scientists must work harder at making the public aware of the stark difference between good science and "denialist spin".   view more (2008-04-24)

1600 Eruption Caused Global Disruption
The 1600 eruption of Huaynaputina in Peru had a global impact on human society, according to a new study of contemporary records by geologists at UC Davis.   view more (2008-04-24)

Arctic Ice More Vulnerable to Sunny Weather, New Study Shows
The shrinking expanse of Arctic sea ice is increasingly vulnerable to summer sunshine, new research concludes.   view more (2008-04-22)

Carnegie Mellon studies how climate change impacts food production
The old adage, "We are what we eat,'' may be the latest recipe for success when it comes to curbing the perils of global climate warming.   view more (2008-04-22)

Changing jet streams may alter paths of storms and hurricanes
The Earth's jet streams, the high-altitude bands of fast winds that strongly influence the paths of storms and other weather systems, are shifting-possibly in response to global warming.   view more (2008-04-17)

What Aristotle could teach your business
Public scandals, such as the Enron affair, the sub-prime mortgage problem, and the ensuing global credit crunch have led to dwindling confidence in the business world.   view more (2008-04-16)

AGI reports on the price of oil and the US dollar
The American Geological Institute Workforce Program has released its latest data report, this time looking at the price of crude oil and the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar.   view more (2008-04-16)

Scientists debate the accuracy of Al Gore's documentary
There is no question that Al Gore's 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth is a powerful example of how scientific knowledge can be communicated to a lay audience. What is up for debate is whether it accurately presents the scientific argument that global warming is caused by human activities.   view more (2008-04-15)

The future of solar-powered houses is clear
People could live in glass houses and look at the world through rose-tinted windows while reducing their carbon emissions by 50% thanks to QUT Institute of Sustainable Resources (ISR) research.   view more (2008-04-10)

NOAA Aircraft to Probe Arctic Pollution
NOAA scientists are now flying through springtime Arctic pollution to find out why the region is warming - and summertime sea ice is melting - faster than predicted. Some 35 NOAA researchers are gathering with government and university colleagues in Fairbanks, Alaska, to conduct the study through... view more (2008-04-08)

Climate change -- research suggests it is not a swindle
New research has dealt a blow to the skeptics who argue that climate change is all due to cosmic rays rather than to man-made greenhouse gases. The new evidence shows no reliable connection between the cosmic ray intensity and cloud cover.   view more (2008-04-03)

Emission Reduction Assumptions for Carbon Dioxide Overly Optimistic, Study Says
Reducing global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) over the coming century will be more challenging than society has been led to believe, according to a research commentary appearing this week in the journal Nature.   view more (2008-04-03)

Models look good when predicting climate change
The accuracy of computer models that predict climate change over the coming decades has been the subject of debate among politicians, environmentalists and even scientists.   view more (2008-04-03)

Carnegie Mellon researchers to curb CO2 emissions
Carnegie Mellon University's Chris T. Hendrickson and H. Scott Matthews along with Alex Carpenter and Heather MacLean of the University of Toronto challenge Canadian officials to take the lead in eliminating dangerous carbon dioxide emissions that fuel global warming.   view more (2008-04-03)

NASA launches airborne study of arctic atmosphere, air pollution
This month, NASA begins the most extensive field campaign ever to investigate the chemistry of the Arctic's lower atmosphere. The mission is poised to help scientists identify how air pollution contributes to climate changes in the Arctic.   view more (2008-04-02)
