Invitation to the Media - Environmental Catastrophe Hits London
A major interdisciplinary conference on environmental catastrophes in the recent geological past will be held at Brunel University from 28 August to 2 September 2002. All media are welcome to attend, by prior arrangement with the Conference Organiser (see Further Information). Although the Conference is being promoted by the Geological Society of... view more...

Climate catastrophes in the Solar System
Earth sits between two worlds that have been devastated by climate catastrophes. In the effort to combat global warming, our neighbours can provide valuable insights into the way climate catastrophes affect planets. view more (2007-04-27)
Global Cooperation needed on Climate Change
Climate change negotiators meeting next week in Marrakech need to build a global coalition to enhance the adaptation ability already shown by communities vulnerable to climate change. "The impacts of climate change are significant whether you herd goats in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco or work in a river-side office block in central London," says... view more... (2001-10-23)
Superfloods hit the capital @ London `Catastrophes` conference
Flooding of the world`s coastal lowlands has the potential to generate major future catastrophes. The melting of the great ice sheets in North America and Asia at the end of the last ice age caused extreme flood events that changed global climate and played an important role in human settlement and migration. These `superfloods` are probably the... view more... (2002-08-17)
A health check for the Earth @ the London `Catastrophes` conference
The condition of our environment at any time reflects not only human influences but also natural processes and phenomena, which may be causing change - whether or not people are present. So how do we know when humans are to blame and when it`s just the environment behaving `naturally`. At Brunel University`s `Environmental Catastrophes`... view more... (2002-08-17)
Can ancient rocks yield clues about catastrophes like Hurricane Katrina?
Hurricane Katrina and other natural catastrophes in recent years have shown how vulnerable mankind is in the face of nature. view more (2005-09-08)
Forest ecologist sees climate consequences
Many people worry about the link between rising bark-beetle infestations and an increase in western wildfires. But Dr. Susan Prichard, a Research Scientist at the University of Washington, adds another concern: what happens after the fires go out? view more (2009-09-15)
Natural Cataclysms Predict Glaciations
Not only geologists are interested in giant canyons of Kursk Magnetic Anomaly, but also soil scientists. There is very convenient place to watch old soils, which earlier were on the surface. As the canyons grew wider, details of ancient landscapes and their changes appear. While studying one of those canyons, Svetlana Sycheva from the Institute of... view more... (2002-01-11)
Common garden plant threatened by climate change
Cyclamen, a common, pretty garden flower, is at risk of extinction because of climate change. In a study published today in the open access journal BMC Evolutionary Biology (http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcevolbiol/), researchers show, using mathematical modelling, that the ideal climate for Cyclamen will become increasingly rare and might have... view more...

Climate change threatens Amazonian small farmers
A six-year study of Amazonian small farmers and their responses to climate change shows the farmers are vulnerable to natural catastrophes and risky land use practices, say Indiana University Bloomington anthropologists Eduardo Brondizio and Emilio Moran. view more (2008-03-26)
Commission Organises European Climate Science Conference - Vienna, 19-23 October 1998
The conference has been organised by the European Commission and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Transport, and will be opened by Dr. Einem, the Austrian Minister of Science and Transport, and Prof. Routti, Director-General of DG XII. It will bring together climate change projects funded within the Environment and Climate Programme... view more... (1998-10-16)
Counting sheep in climate change predictions
Climate change can have devastating effects on endangered species, but new mathematical models may be able to aid conservation of a population of bighorn sheep. view more (2009-06-01)
First British Glacial Map to predict future climate change
An academic from the University of Sheffield has produced the first glacial map of Britain, which could allow us to better predict climate change in the future. The map is published in the latest edition of the journal Boreas. view more (2004-11-23)
New research detects human-induced climate change at a regional scale
Canadian and British climate scientists have clearly detected human-induced climate change at a regional scale in Canada, southern Europe and China. view more (2006-09-22)
Cosmic bogs @ the London Catastrophes conference
You may think that peat bogs are among the least interesting places on Earth and you could be right. But according to speakers at Brunel University`s `Environmental Catastrophes` conference, that doesn`t stop them being excellent recorders of catastrophic environmental events like volcanic eruptions and cosmic influx. According to Dr Lars... view more... (2002-08-17)
Report - adapting farming to climate change
CSIRO today released a national overview of climate change impacts and adaptation options for Australian agriculture. view more (2008-06-26)
Argonne National Laboratory plays key role in new climate simulations
The Model Coupling Toolkit created by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory played a key role in the climate simulations used in preparing the new U.N. report "Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis." view more (2007-02-16)
Natural climate change may be larger than commonly thought
A new study of climate in the Northern Hemisphere for the past 2000 years shows that natural climate change may be larger than generally thought. This is displayed in results from scientists at the Stockholm University, made in cooperation with Russian scientists, which are published in Nature on 10 Feb 2005. view more (2005-02-09)
Something new under the Sun
That plants grow better if grown in a greenhouse in the correct climate is nothing new. Dutch researcher Rachel van Ooteghem has designed a control system for an improved solar greenhouse that yields more. view more (2007-01-31)
Time to lift the geoengineering taboo
Hot on the heels of the Royal Society's Geoengineering the Climate report, September's Physics World contains feature comment from UK experts stressing the need to start taking geoengineering - deliberate interventions in the climate system to counteract man-made global warming - more seriously. view more (2009-09-01)
