Lesson from the past for surviving climate change
Research led by the University of Leicester suggests people today and in future generations should look to the past in order to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. view more (2009-05-28)
Relocation, relocation, relocation
As sea levels rise in the wake of climate change and semi-arid regions turn to desert, people living in those parts of the world are likely to be displaced. A mathematical approach to planned relocation reported in the International Journal of Mathematics and Operational Research. view more (2009-04-02)
North Atlantic slows on the uptake of CO2
Further evidence for the decline of the oceans' historical role as an important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide is supplied by new research by environmental scientists from the University of East Anglia. view more (2007-10-23)
Health toll of climate change seen as ethical crisis
The public health costs of global climate change are likely to be the greatest in those parts of the world that have contributed least to the problem, posing a significant ethical dilemma for the developed world, according to a new study. view more (2007-11-08)
Researchers establish common seasonal pattern among bacterial communities in Arctic rivers
New research on bacterial communities throughout six large Arctic river ecosystems reveals predictable temporal patterns, suggesting that scientists could use these communities as markers for monitoring climate change in the polar regions. view more (2009-11-24)
Millions More at Risk Worldwide from Effects of Climate Change
Many millions of people could be placed at risk as a result of higher temperatures in the future, according to new research co-ordinated by the University of East Anglia (UEA). A group of researchers, led by Professor Martin Parry, of the Jackson Environment Institute at UEA, estimated the additional numbers of people likely to be at risk from... view more... (2001-12-10)
Drop in daddy long legs is devastating bird populations
Warm summers are dramatically reducing populations of daddy long legs, which in turn is having a severe impact on the bird populations which rely on them for food. view more (2009-03-27)
NCAR climate expert: Hurricanes to intensify as Earth warms
Warmer oceans, more moisture in the atmosphere, and other factors suggest that human-induced climate change will increase hurricane intensity and rainfall, according to climate expert Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. view more (2005-06-16)
Sea level on the rise - in real and virtual worlds
The climate system, and in particular sea level, may be responding more quickly to rising carbon emissions than climate scientists have estimated with climate models. view more (2007-02-05)
Understanding the global carbon budget -- Woods Hole Research Center expert provides insights
As climate change becomes more and more a central issue in local, national, and international discussions, understanding the global carbon budget, and how it influences trends in global warming, will become increasingly crucial. view more (2007-05-10)
Press Invitation: Imperial College Environment Office Forum Seminar on Environmental Change
The seminar will offer journalists a chance to hear about some of the latest research on environmental change all in one afternoon. view more (1999-05-21)
Climate change threatens a million species with extinction
Climate change may drive a quarter of land animals and plants extinct, according to a major new study published in the journal Nature - unless greenhouse gas emissions are drastically reduced. The largest collaboration of scientists ever to apply themselves to this problem studied six biodiversity-rich regions around the world representing 20% of... view more... (2004-01-07)
Climate Prediction:
The symposium was held in Tokyo at the Tokyo International Forum on March 5th. It was opened by Mr. Uchida, Director General of NASDA (National Space Development Agency, Japan) and by A. Ghazi, Head of Biodiversity and Global Change Unit DG XII, European Commission. The discussions at the Hakone workshop underlined the existence of areas where the... view more... (1999-03-22)
Scientists should look at their own carbon footprint
Scientists studying the impact of climate change on the Arctic need to consider ways to reduce their own carbon footprints, says a researcher who regularly flies north to study the health of caribou. view more (2009-06-09)
Stressed crops emit more methane than thought
Scientists at the University of Calgary have found that methane emission by plants could be a bigger problem in global warming than previously thought. view more (2009-08-18)
Controversial new climate change results
New data show that the balance between the airborne and the absorbed fraction of carbon dioxide has stayed approximately constant since 1850, despite emissions of carbon dioxide having risen from about 2 billion tons a year in 1850 to 35 billion tons a year now. view more (2009-11-11)
European climate change reports launched in Brussels
Two new reports examining climate change adaptation and policy making across Europe will be launched today in Brussels in the presence of Peter Gammeltoft, Head of Unit 'Protection of Water & Marine Environment' at the European Commission. view more (2009-06-24)
ETH Zurich: Record summers will become more common
Last summer's European heatwave presented climate scientists with new questions, as the high temperatures were far outside the range of past observations. Research scientists at ETH Zurich and MeteoSwiss have put forward a new hypothesis to account for this observation: in addition to a general rise in temperatures, they expect summer temperature... view more...

Science paper examines role of aerosols in climate change
A group of scientists affiliated with the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) have proposed a new framework to account more accurately for the effects of aerosols on precipitation in climate models. view more (2008-09-08)
Australian Land Surface Is Becoming More Like A Gardener's Greenhouse
Recent research has shown that over the past 50 years the evaporative demand at the terrestrial surface has decreased in many regions, while rainfall has remained constant or even increased a little, effectively making the land wetter. Much of the research to date has been undertaken in the Northern Hemisphere, but a new report details the changes... view more... (2004-06-30)
