The ice... view more (2004-01-08)

Costs of climate change, state-by-state: Billions, says UMD
Climate change will carry a price tag of billions of dollars for a number of U.S. states, says a new series of reports from the University of Maryland's Center for Integrative Environmental Research (CIER). The researchers conclude that the costs have already begun to accrue and are likely to... view more (2008-07-24)

Iowa State researchers work to track North American climate change
Gene Takle begins talks about climate change with some strong statements. "There is no question now that the climate is changing on a global scale," says Takle, an Iowa State University professor of geological and atmospheric sciences and agronomy. "The evidence is so... view more (2007-08-07)

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... view more (2005-04-04)

Scripps-led Global Ocean Warming Research Paper Published in Science
Research led by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, that describes the first clear evidence of human-produced warming in the world's oceans will be published June 2, 2005, in the peer-reviewed journal Science.   view more (2005-06-03)

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)

Latest IPCC report highlights need for integrated climate/human behavior models
Adapting to the global climate change impacts outlined in the IPCC's Working Group 2 Report, "Climate Change 2007: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability", will require new evaluation tools to help choose the best way forward, according to the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme... view more (2007-04-09)

Man-made soot contributed to warming in Greenland in the early 20th century
New research shows that industrial development in North America between 1850 and 1950 greatly increased the amount of black carbon--commonly known as soot-- that fell on Greenland's glaciers and ice sheets.   view more (2007-08-10)

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)

Lund University part of EU project on global land destruction
The EU is now entering an agreement with Lund University regarding research into the desertification. The background is that 40 research organizations from 16 countries recently gathered in Madrid to launch an EU project (DeSurvey) about land degradation and desertification in Europe, Africa, Asia,... view more (2005-04-14)

Alpine glaciers could all but disappear within this century
he European Alps could lose some 80 percent of their glacier cover by the end of this century, if summer air temperatures rise by three degrees Celsius [five degrees Fahrenheit]. And if temperatures increase by five degrees Celsius [nine degrees Fahrenheit], the Alps would become almost completely... view more (2006-07-10)

Planet-sized solutions for global warming: International experts evaluate the options
Big ideas for reducing the impacts of climate change are being evaluated by an international line-up of leading scientists from the US, mainland Europe and the UK at a symposium in Cambridge this week. The scientists are coming together to evaluate which large-scale bio-engineering, geo-engineering... view more (2004-01-05)

Superfloods hit the capital @ London `Catastrophes` conference
Flooding of the world`s coastal lowlands has the potential to generate major future catastrophes. The melting of the great ice sheets in North America and Asia at the end of the last ice age caused extreme flood events that changed global climate and played an important role in human settlement and... view more (2002-08-17)

Decline in uptake of carbon emissions confirmed
A decline in the proportion of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions absorbed by land and oceans is speeding up the growth of atmospheric CO2, according to a paper published today in the US Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.   view more (2007-10-25)

Aphids are sentinels of climate change
Aphids are emerging as sentinels of climate change, researchers at BBSRC-supported Rothamsted Research have shown. One of the UK's most damaging aphids - the peach-potato aphid (Myzus persicae) - has been found to be flying two weeks earlier for every 1 degree C rise in mean temperature for January... view more (2008-08-07)
