New modeling study forecasts disappearance of existing climate zones
A new climate modeling study forecasts the complete disappearance of several existing climates in tropical highlands and regions near the poles, while large swaths of the tropics and subtropics may develop new climates unlike any seen today.   view more (2007-03-28)

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)

Precision climate modeling forecast by ORNL researchers
Climate modeling of tomorrow will feature precision and scale only imagined just a few years ago, say researchers David Erickson and John Drake of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Computer Science and Mathematics Division.   view more (2006-09-11)

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)

Better estimates for future extreme precipitation in Europe
Researchers in Switzerland report that extreme rains in Europe may grow stronger and more frequent in the near future and have significant effects on the region's infrastructure and natural systems.   view more (2006-03-30)

Scientists Confirm Historic Massive Flood in Climate Change
Scientists from NASA and Columbia University, New York, have used computer modeling to successfully reproduce an abrupt climate change that took place 8,200 years ago. At that time, the beginning of the current warm period, climate changes were caused by a massive flood of freshwater into the North... view more (2006-03-01)

Ocean temperatures and sea level increases 50 percent higher than previously estimated
New research suggests that ocean temperature and associated sea level increases between 1961 and 2003 were 50 percent larger than estimated in the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report.    view more (2008-06-19)

The theory of the chaos against the corrosion
In the modern science the word "chaos" is used for the description of systems, behaviour of which seems quite random. However, mathematical modeling methods aid to find an inner order in they. A deterministic chaos theory that allows predictions of physicochemical and even biological processes was... view more (1999-08-24)

Glimpse to past adds weight to global warming forecasts
A new examination of the period of global warming that planet Earth underwent 130,000 years ago is helping scientists to confirm the accuracy of projections for the next century - particularly over Canada's North.   view more (2006-03-24)

Journal details how global warming will affect the world's fisheries
Watching the ebb and flow of populations of fisheries around the world can provide some insight into understanding the effects of global warming on our planet, according to a group of researchers writing in the summer 2007 issue of Natural Resource Modeling.   view more (2007-05-17)

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)

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)

Mailman School of Public Health researchers analyze air quality and weather changes by 2050
In a first of its kind study, a research team based at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health found that changes in urban sprawl and climate that are projected to occur in the New York City metropolitan area by the 2050s could significantly affect air quality and health in the region.   view more (2007-05-15)

Geoengineering could slow down the global water cycle
As fossil fuel emissions continue to climb, reducing the amount of sunlight hitting the Earth would definitely have a cooling effect on surface temperatures.   view more (2008-05-28)

Arctic climate models playing key role in polar bear decision
The pending federal decision about whether to protect the polar bear as a threatened species is as much about climate science as it is about climate change.   view more (2008-03-12)

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... view more (2006-09-20)

Berkeley Lab Researchers Propose a New Breed of Supercomputers for Improving Global Climate Predictions
Three researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have proposed an innovative way to improve global climate change predictions by using a supercomputer with low-power embedded microprocessors, an approach that would overcome limitations... view more (2008-05-07)

New research may lead to better climate models for global warming
One hundred fifty scientists from more than 40 universities in nine countries are starting a coordinated program aimed at gaining new insights about the Earth's climate and the complex, interconnected system involving the oceans, the atmosphere and the land.   view more (2007-12-10)

Systems properties of insulin signaling revealed
A team of Swedish researchers has characterized novel systems properties of insulin signaling in human fat cells. Their mathematical modeling, described in an article published June 20th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology, provides further insight into energy level maintenance... view more (2008-06-20)

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... view more (1998-10-16)

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... view more (2001-10-23)

Arctic, antarctic melting may raise sea levels faster than expected
Ice sheets across both the Arctic and Antarctic could melt more quickly than expected this century, according to two studies that blend computer modeling with paleoclimate records.   view more (2006-03-24)

Changes to land cover may enhance global warming in Amazon, reduce it in midlatitudes
New simulations of 21st-century climate show that human-produced changes in land cover could produce additional warming in the Amazon region comparable to that caused by greenhouse gases, while counteracting greenhouse warming by 25% to 50% in some midlatitude areas.   view more (2005-12-09)
