Climate changes are linked between Greenland and the Antarctic
Even if climate records from Greenland and Antarctic ice cores look different, climate of Artic and Antarctic are directly linked. Investigations of an Antarctic ice core indicate a principle connection between both hemispheres by a 'bipolar seesaw'. view more (2006-11-10)
Climate kick from the Southern Ocean
This much was already known: in the closing phase of the last ice age the Southern Hemisphere began warming first. As a result, the Antarctic sea ice melted. It was at least a thousand years later - as evidenced by investigations of Greenland ice cores - that the high northern latitudes began to get warmer. Sea ice in the North Atlantic retreated... view more... (2003-07-29)
New evidence that global warming fuels stronger Atlantic hurricanes
Atmospheric scientists have uncovered fresh evidence to support the hotly debated theory that global warming has contributed to the emergence of stronger hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean. view more (2007-03-01)
AGU Journal European highlights - 30 October 2002
The following highlights summarize research papers in Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) and Paleoceanography (PA). The papers related to these Highlights will be printed in the next paper issues of the respective journals following their electronic publication. view more (2002-10-30)
Southampton scientists unravel 8,200-year-old climate riddle
Palaeoceanographers from the Southampton Oceanography Centre have shed new light on the world's climate behaviour over 8,200 years ago. In an article published this week in Nature, they demonstrate that a sudden drop in temperature lasting 200 years cannot be used as a template for the modern day threat of rapid climate change. view more (2005-04-21)
Researchers find animal with ability to survive climate change
Queen's researchers have found that the main source of food for many fish - including cod - in the North Atlantic appears to adapt in order to survive climate change. view more (2008-09-24)
Panama butterfly migrations linked to El Niño, climate change
A high-speed chase across the Panama Canal in a Boston Whaler may sound like the beginning of another James Bond film-but the protagonist of this story brandishes a butterfly net and studies the effects of climate change on insect migrations at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. view more (2009-10-06)
Global warming could halt ocean circulation, with harmful results
Absent any climate policy, scientists have found a 70 percent chance of shutting down the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean over the next 200 years, with a 45 percent probability of this occurring in this century. view more (2005-12-08)
Two NASA Satellites Captures Hurricane Bill's
Bill was the third tropical depression in the Atlantic Ocean hurricane season, behind Ana and Tropical Depression One. Over the weekend Bill grew into the first hurricane in the Atlantic this season. Two NASA Satellites captured Bill's rainfall and cloud temperatures as he was powering up. view more (2009-08-18)
Henri born in Eastern Atlantic... could be short-lived
Forecasters were watching a storm they designated as 91 yesterday, October 6, until it organized into a tropical cyclone east of the Leeward Islands around 5 p.m. EDT. It was then named "Tropical Storm Henri," the eighth named tropical cyclone of the Atlantic hurricane season. view more (2009-10-08)
MiniBooNE findings clarify the behavior of neutrinos
The initial data from the 10-year long "MiniBooNE" experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermilab significantly clarifies the overall picture of how the neutrino fundamental particles behave. view more (2007-04-12)
What Happened to the Antimatter? Fermilab's DZero Experiment Finds Clues in Quick-Change Meson
Scientists of the DZero collider detector collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have announced that their data on the properties of a subatomic particle, the B_s meson ("B sub s"), suggest that the particle oscillates between matter and antimatter in one of nature's fastest rapid-fire... view more...

Tropical storm risk consortium announces forecast for US hurricane strikes in 2001
Atlantic hurricane activity and the numbers of hurricanes striking US shores between June and November 2001 are anticipated to be 20% above average, a team of UK scientists said today. Dr Mark Saunders, Dr Paul Rockett and Dr Tony Hamilton of the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre at University College London (UCL) have developed innovative... view more... (2000-12-04)
Scientists say 'save our seas'
Humans are posing some of the biggest threats yet to Europe's marine environment, according to an international group of leading scientists who have compiled the first ever report covering all of the continent's seas. The report, which spans the Baltic, North, Irish, Black and Mediterranean seas, and other areas of the North East Atlantic, was... view more... (2003-06-17)
Monster hurricanes
New research calls into question the linkage between major Atlantic hurricanes and global warming. That is one of the conclusions from a University of Virginia study to appear in the May 10, 2006 issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters. view more (2006-05-10)
Dust may dampen hurricane fury
After more than a dozen hurricanes battered the Atlantic Ocean last year, scientists are wondering what-if anything-might be causing stronger and more frequent storms. view more (2006-10-10)
Melting of the Greenland ice cap may have consequences for climatic change
According to two international-research studies on the last ice age, studies with the participation of Dr Rainer Zahn, research professor in the ICREA at the UAB Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA), before the great ice sheets of the Arctic Ocean began to melt, early sporadic episodes of melting of the old ice sheet which... view more...

The Agulhas Current, in the southern hemisphere, may influence climate in Europe
Her PhD thesis "Surface and Deep Circulation off South Africa: Agulhas Leakage Influence on the Meridional Overturning Circulation During the Last 345 kyr" presented data on a major ocean current in the southern hemisphere, the Agulhas Current, which transports warm waters from the tropical Indian Ocean to the southern tip of Africa. view more (2009-03-11)
Slippery stretching explains ocean floor formation
For the first time, scientists have found regions of the earth's crust which are stretching apart to form new sea floor. view more (2006-07-31)
Scientists link volcanic eruptions that formed North Atlantic Ocean to ancient global warming
Scientists examining a spike in worldwide ocean temperatures 55 million years ago have linked it to massive volcanic eruptions that pushed Greenland and northwest Europe apart to create the North Atlantic Ocean. view more (2007-04-27)
