Salty oceans provide early warning for climate change
Monitoring the saltiness of the ocean water could provide an early indicator of climate change. Significant increases or decreases in salt in key areas could forewarn of climate change in 10 to 20 years time. view more (2007-06-11)
UA scientists part of Supreme Court case on carbon dioxide emissions
Four faculty members from The University of Arizona in Tucson were part of an amicus curiae brief supporting the plaintiff in today's historic U.S. Supreme Court decision on carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. view more (2007-04-03)
Banana Boat to Help with Climate Research
A refrigerated cargo vessel in the banana trade is set to contribute to research about climate change, in a new collaboration between the University of East Anglia (UEA) and The Geest Line, a commercial shipping line based in Southampton. As part of a unique Europe-wide project, a commercial vessel, involved in shipping bananas from the Caribbean... view more... (2001-12-05)
Scientists use new techniques to narrow down impact of global warming on specific regions
People will soon be able to find out how vulnerable their own local area is to global warming, thanks to new techniques developed by scientists. view more (2005-11-28)
Rodent size linked to human population and climate change
You probably hadn't noticed -- but the head shape and overall size of rodents has been changing over the past century. A University of Illinois at Chicago ecologist has tied these changes to human population density and climate change. view more (2009-07-31)
Stronger coastal winds due to climate change may have far-reaching effects
Future increases in wind strength along the California coast may have far-reaching effects, including more intense upwelling of cold water along the coast early in the season and increased fire danger in Southern California, according to researchers at the Climate Change and Impacts Laboratory at the University of California, Santa Cruz. view more (2008-12-22)
Computer models show major climate shift as a result of closing ozone hole
A new study led by Columbia University researchers has found that the closing of the ozone hole, which is projected to occur sometime in the second half of the 21st century, may significantly affect climate change in the Southern Hemisphere, and therefore, the global climate. view more (2008-06-13)
Plants' role in global warming re-examined in ORNL Science paper
Estimates of increased plant respiration in response to higher global temperatures may be somewhat overstated as they have not taken into account plants' ability to adjust to changing conditions, according to researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. view more (2006-05-02)
Upland birds in peril from climate change
New evidence suggests that rarely studied upland birds may be as vulnerable as songbirds to climate change. view more (2005-02-01)
Advance Warning of Storms and Cyclones with New Technique
The catastrophic flooding in Jakarta in February this year could have been predicted nearly 3 weeks in advance with a new technique being developed by Dr Matt Wheeler and colleagues at the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre in Australia. The flooding was caused by large waves of air and clouds, so called Madden-Julian Oscillations (MJOs).... view more... (2002-06-02)
Beneficial effects of no-till farming depend upon future climate change
By storing carbon in their fields through no-till farming practice, farmers can help countries meet targeted reductions in atmospheric carbon dioxide and reduce the harmful effects of global warming. view more (2005-10-13)
Ancient British bog provides clue to global warming
Analysis of sediments from a British bog suggest that methane emissions increased due to intense global warming around 55 million years ago. view more (2007-09-20)
Aerosols - their part in our rainfall
Aerosols may have a greater impact on patterns of Australian rainfall and future climate change than previously thought, according to leading atmospheric scientist, CSIRO's Dr Leon Rotstayn. view more (2009-02-12)
New predictions for sea level rise
Fossil coral data and temperature records derived from ice-core measurements have been used to place better constraints on future sea level rise, and to test sea level projections. view more (2009-07-27)
Role of Silica in Climate Cycles
New research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) has demonstrated that the compound silica was not solely responsible for changes in carbon dioxide levels during past Ice Ages. It is already known from scientific research that during past Ice Ages increased amounts of silica, a common component of wind-blown dust, were deposited in the ocean.... view more... (2001-06-21)
New Director for the NERC Centres for Atmospheric Science
Professor Stephen Mobbs from the University of Leeds has been appointed as the next Director of the NERC Centres for Atmospheric Science (NCAS). He will take up his new role on 1 July 2005. view more (2005-04-15)
Report calls aerosol research key to improving climate predictions
Scientists need a more detailed understanding of how human-produced atmospheric particles, called aerosols, affect climate in order to produce better predictions of Earth's future climate, according to a NASA-led report issued by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program on Friday. view more (2009-01-20)
Foresight for physics technologies is healthy - The Physics Congress 2002
The key role of physics in delivering solutions to problems such as climate change and global warming was highlighted by Professor David King, Head of the Office of Science and Technology and Government Chief Scientific Adviser, in a talk to scientific innovators at the Institute of Physics Annual Congress in Brighton today. Citing ARM, the... view more... (2002-04-08)
Growth versus global warming
Houses on stilts, small scale energy generation and recycling our dishwater are just some of the measures that are being proposed to prepare our cities for the effects of global warming. view more (2009-10-14)
New report presents strongest evidence yet of human link to global warming, Duke expert says
Evidence presented in the first phase of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 4th Assessment Report, released today in Paris, paints the clearest picture yet that human-derived greenhouse gases are playing a significant role in observed global warming. view more (2007-02-02)
