Most of Arctic's Near-Surface Permafrost May Thaw by 2100
Global warming may decimate the top 10 feet (3 meters) or more of perennially frozen soil across the Northern Hemisphere, altering ecosystems as well as damaging buildings and roads across Canada, Alaska, and Russia. view more (2005-12-20)
Irrigation may not cool the globe in the future
Expansion of irrigation has masked greenhouse warming in California's Central Valley, but irrigation may not make much of a difference in the future, according to a new study in the Aug. 13 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2007-08-15)
Competition May Be Reason For Bigger Brain
For the past 2 million years, the size of the human brain has tripled, growing much faster than other mammals. Examining the reasons for human brain expansion, University of Missouri researchers studied three common hypotheses for brain growth: climate change, ecological demands and social competition. view more (2009-06-23)
DNA Model Recognised As New Guinness World Record: Massive model seeks new home
The world's largest model of DNA, built at the Potteries Shopping Centre in Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday 9 March, has today been recognised as a new world record by Guinness World Records. The 10.78 metre model, containing over 1500 atoms, will be on display at the Potteries Shopping Centre until 18 March, after which it will be seeking a new home.... view more... (2002-03-12)
Climate Research: Oldest Ice in Process
Scientists at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) are handling the oldest ice that has ever been unearthed: The ice cores, which were drilled during last winter in the Antarctic research station Dome C, are up to 900.000 years old. They come from a depth of 3200 metres and contain information about the climate and... view more... (2003-11-14)
Trees to offset the carbon footprint?
How effective are new trees in offsetting the carbon footprint? A new study suggests that the location of the new trees is an important factor when considering such carbon offset projects. Planting and preserving forests in the tropics is more likely to slow down global warming. view more (2007-04-10)
The origin of perennial water-ice at the South Pole of Mars
Thanks to data from ESA's Mars Express mission, combined with models of the Martian climate, scientists can now suggest how the orbit of Mars around the Sun affects the deposition of water ice at the Martian South Pole. view more (2007-07-16)
Rise in California temperatures likely to affect crops
Increasing temperatures in California during the next 45 years could negatively affect the amount of almonds, walnuts, oranges, avocados and table grapes that Americans put on their tables. view more (2006-12-05)
2000 meters deep in Antarctic ice
European ice core drilling project at Kohnen station retrieves old ice for climate research. At the Kohnen station operated by Alfred-Wegener-Institute for Polar- and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, the international drilling team reached a depth of 2000 meters on January 7 at 0210 hours. The ice from that depth is about 100.000 years old and yields... view more... (2004-01-08)
Plants could override climate change effects on wildfires
The increase in warmer and drier climates predicted to occur under climate change scenarios has led many scientists to also predict a global increase in the number of wildfires. view more (2009-04-22)
Catastrophic 'lake burst' chills climate
Ocean circulation changes during the present warm interglacial were more extensive than previously thought, according to new research by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Cardiff University. view more (2006-06-30)
Margaret Beckett Speaks at Industry Forum Meeting Hosted by Chemical Association
The Chemical Industries Association (CIA) hosted a meeting of the Industry Forum on Climate Change and Energy, at its London offices, on Wednesday 12 January 2005. view more (2005-01-14)
Changes in Ocean Circulation Could Lead To Rapid Regional Sea Level Change
One of the major consequences of future ocean circulation changes would be sea level change. This is shown in a new study by scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany which was published in the recent issue of "Climate Dynamics". They investigated the scenario of a possible shutdown of the Atlantic overturning... view more... (2005-04-04)
Oceanic seesaw links Northern and Southern hemisphere during abrupt climate change
Very large and abrupt changes in temperature recorded over Greenland and across the North Atlantic during the last Ice Age were actually global in extent, according to an international team of researchers led by Cardiff University. view more (2009-02-26)
Central American fires impact US air quality and climate
Scientists using NASA satellites and computer models have shown that pollutants from Central American biomass burning can influence air quality and climate in the United States. view more (2006-10-11)
The least sea ice in 800 years
New research, which reconstructs the extent of ice in the sea between Greenland and Svalbard from the 13th century to the present indicates that there has never been so little sea ice as there is now. The research results from the Niels Bohr Institute, among others, are published in the scientific journal, Climate Dynamics. view more (2009-07-01)
Clear view of the clouds will bring better weather forecasts
Accurately forecasting rain will be easier thanks to new insights into clouds from a study led by the University of Leeds and UCL (University College London). view more (2005-08-11)
Morphology of fossil salamanders reflects climate change
A fossil record of the Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) shows population-wide changes in body size and morphology in response to climate change over the last 3,000 years. view more (2005-09-13)

Some animals won't adapt to climate change
In a fascinating study appearing in the November issue of The American Naturalist, biologists investigated the response of small animals to climate change on a remote sub-Antarctic Island. view more (2006-11-14)
