Supercomputers to transform science
New insights into the structure of space and time, climate modeling, and the design of novel drugs, are but a few of the many research areas that will be transformed by the installation of three supercomputers at the University of Bristol.   view more (2006-06-07)

Coral reef reveals history of fickle weather in the central Pacific
For more than five decades, archaeologists, geographers, and other researchers studying the Pacific Islands have used a model of late Holocene climate change based largely on other regions of the world.   view more (2006-05-17)

West African Ocean sediment core links monsoons to global climate evolution
Monsoons, the life-giving, torrential rains of Asia and Africa, have an ancient, unsuspected connection to previous Ice Age climate cycles, according to scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and at Kiel University in Germany.   view more (2007-06-01)

Interactions with aerosols boost warming potential of some gases
For decades, climate scientists have worked to identify and measure key substances -- notably greenhouse gases and aerosol particles -- that affect Earth's climate.   view more (2009-10-30)

Bowman Global Change says public engagement critical to solving climate crisis
Tom Bowman, president of Bowman Global Change, a firm that helps organizations make sustainable transformations, has written a paper defining the adjustments to climate change communication programs required to encourage sustainable behaviors and drive society's response to climate change.   view more (2009-05-04)

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)

First German Center for Modeling and Simulation in the Life Sciences Established in Heidelberg
The first German center for modeling and simulation in the life sciences (BIOMS) opens today in Heidelberg. In international terms, Heidelberg is already an outstanding location for the life sciences and scientific computing. At the new Center, modeling and computer simulation will be used for research on biological systems. With these methods... view more... (2004-02-12)

Global Warming: Cuts in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Would Save Arctic Ice, Reduce Sea Level Rise
The threat of global warming can still be greatly diminished if nations cut emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases by 70 percent this century, according to a new analysis.   view more (2009-04-15)

Weather, stomach bugs and climate change: Refining the model
Monitoring extreme weather, such as periods of high temperature, is one way to predict the timing and intensity of infectious diseases like cryptosporidiosis, an intestinal disease that causes upset stomach and diarrhea.   view more (2008-06-05)

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)

New model revises estimates of terrestrial carbon dioxide uptake
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new model of global carbon and nitrogen cycling that will fundamentally transform the understanding of how plants and soils interact with a changing atmosphere and climate.   view more (2007-12-12)

Climate change odds much worse than thought
The most comprehensive modeling yet carried out on the likelihood of how much hotter the Earth's climate will get in this century shows that without rapid and massive action, the problem will be about twice as severe as previously estimated six years ago - and could be even worse than that.   view more (2009-05-20)

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)

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)

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)

Climate models confirm more moisture in atmosphere attributed to humans
When it comes to using climate models to assess the causes of the increased amount of moisture in the atmosphere, it doesn't much matter if one model is better than the other.   view more (2009-08-11)

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)
