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)
Fossilized midges provide clues to future climate change
Fossilised midges have helped scientists at the University of Liverpool identify two episodes of abrupt climate change that suggest the UK climate is not as stable as previously thought. view more (2007-07-10)
Winds of Change May Influence Insurance and Forestry in Industries
The impacts of extreme events, such as windstorms, on the insurance and forestry industries is to be investigated in a new Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research project, which also aims to shed light on the likely occurrence of future high winds due to global warming. Windstorms have important implications for the whole European economy,... view more... (2001-02-01)
CLIMATE CAPERS UNDER EXAMINATION - International Conference near Bremen
A new era in climate research began with the ice-core drilling in Greenland at the beginning of the nineties supplying the proof that the last Ice Age was marked by large fluctuations in temperature. Differences of up to 7°C within just a few years were not uncommon. view more (1999-10-07)
A changing climate for protected areas
On April 6, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will release a report entitled Climate Change 2007: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability that focuses on how climate change is affecting the planet. view more (2007-04-03)
Climate Computer Modeling Heats Up
New "petascale" computer models depicting detailed climate dynamics, and building the foundation for the next generation of complex climate models, are in the offing. view more (2008-09-09)
Global Warming: changing climate of opinion
In the 1960s, scientists anticipated a `New Ice Age`. Later, they warned of humans triggering a 'Nuclear Winter'. Now, it's 'Global Warming'. Why this change in emphasis? And why did it take 100 years for the theory behind 'Global Warming' to take hold? New research by scientists from the University of Gloucestershire indicates that a remarkable... view more...

Want to monitor climate change? P-p-p-pick up a penguin!
We are used to hearing about the effects of climate change in terms of unusual animal behaviour, such as altering patterns of fish and bird migration. view more (2007-04-04)
The effects of climate change on the physiology of alfalfa
The biologist Gorka Erice Soreasu, a researcher in the Department of Plant Biology of the University of Navarra, has studied the effects of climate change on the physiology of alfalfa. view more (2006-04-12)
A new measure of global warming from carbon emissions
Damon Matthews, a professor in Concordia University's Department of Geography, Planning and the Environment has found a direct relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and global warming. view more (2009-06-11)
Eight institutes observe the climate together
Cooperation to better follow, understand and predict the climate Eight institutes observe the climate together On Thursday 23 May 2002, an agreement will be signed in Cabauw by 8 cooperating institutes situated in the Netherlands. The cooperation project is called CESAR, and is in the form of a national observatory for the atmosphere. The goal of... view more... (2002-05-21)
Climate change following collapse of the Maya empire
Researchers from the University of Amsterdam have demonstrated that the climate in South Mexico changed following the collapse of the Maya empire. From preserved pollen grains the paleoecologists could deduce that the climate quickly became dryer. The climate becoming dryer, explains the decrease in the population following the collapse of the... view more... (2002-01-29)
Stratified seawater disrupts the transport of imposex substances

From preserved pollen grains the paleoecologists could deduce that the climate quickly became dryer. The climate becoming dryer, explains the decrease in the population following the collapse of the... view more... (2002-01-24)
Ecologists give evidence to climate change inquiry
The UK should use its presidency of the G8 and EU to move forward international action to analyse future risks due to climate change and develop and implement evidence-based adaptation strategies for coping with the immediate impacts of climate change, the British Ecological Society has urged. Giving evidence to the House of Commons Environment,... view more... (2004-12-08)
Met Office appoints new Chief Scientist
Following an open competition, the Met Office announced today that John Mitchell will be its new Chief Scientist. He is expected to take up the appointment in December following Paul Mason`s retirement later this year. John, a world-renowned expert on climate change, and currently Head of Modelling Climate Change at the Hadley Centre has worked... view more... (2002-10-02)
Oldest Antarctic ice core reveals climate history
Secrets of the Earth's past climate locked in a three-kilometre long Antarctic ice core are revealed this week in the journal Nature. The core from Dome C, high on East Antarctica's plateau, contains snowfall from the last 740,000 years and is by far the oldest continuous climate record obtained from ice cores so far. The ice has been collected... view more... (2004-06-03)

Climate models need deeper roots, scientists say
By soaking up moisture with their roots and later releasing it from their leaves, plants play an active role in regulating the climate. In fact, in vegetated ecosystems, plants are the primary channels that connect the soil to the atmosphere, with plant roots controlling the below-ground dynamics. view more (2005-12-06)
Global warming not responsible for malaria increase in East African Highlands
Recent increases in malaria in the East African Highlands cannot be attributed to global warming, researchers at the Department of Zoology at Oxford University have shown. It has long been known that malaria in highland areas is hindered by low temperatures which limit the development of the parasites in the mosquito. Recent upsurges of malaria in... view more...

A third of Britons would forfeit flying abroad"¦
The annual exodus of 'Brits abroad' is under threat, as a third of Britons claim they would give up flying if it solved the global climate crisis, according to new research released today by the Dana Centre in London. view more (2005-04-19)
