Decline in greenhouse gas emissions would reduce sea-level rise, save Arctic Sea ice
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)
University of Toronto study shows climate change will lead to less ultraviolet radiation over northern high latitudes
Physicists at the University of Toronto have discovered that changes in the Earth's ozone layer due to climate change will reduce the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in northern high latitude regions such as Siberia, Scandinavia and northern Canada. view more (2009-09-16)
Tropical forests leak nitrogen back into atmosphere, say scientists
In findings that could influence our understanding of climate change, a Princeton research team has learned that tropical forests return to the atmosphere up to half the nitrogen they receive each year, thanks to a particular type of bacteria that lives in those forests. view more (2006-05-23)
Modern physics is critical to global warming research
Science has come a long way with predicting climate. Increasingly sophisticated models and instruments can zero in on a specific storm formation or make detailed weather forecasts - all useful to our daily lives. But to understand global climate change, scientists need more than just a one-day forecast. They need a deeper understanding of the... view more... (2008-03-12)
Changing ocean conditions led to decline in Alaska's sea lion population
A new study out of Alaska points out the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems, and the need for increased research and stronger science based management to address future concerns. view more (2007-03-23)
The Antarctic Canary — the human impact on climate change
As the UK attempts to move towards a low carbon economy, leading scientists and a world expert on sustainable energy in buildings this week discuss the evidence for climate change and possible solutions. view more (2006-09-05)
Sand dunes reveal unexpected dryness during heavy monsoon
The windswept deserts of northern China might seem an odd destination for studying the heavy monsoon rains that routinely drench the more tropical regions of Southeast Asia. view more (2009-10-07)
Heavy Rainfall on the Increase
With at least one episode of serious flooding already this autumn, new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) shows that one of the main contributors to flooding, three or more days of heavy rainfall in a row, is on the increase. view more (2001-11-19)
Using Synthetic Evolution to Study the Brain: Researchers Model Key Part of Neurons
The human brain has evolved over millions of years to become a vast network of billions of neurons and synaptic connections. Understanding it is one of humankind's greatest pursuits. view more (2009-10-05)
Federal funding gap cited for research on human health impacts due to climate change
Climate change will seriously impact public health, but the United States has yet to allocate adequate research funding to understand and prepare for these impacts, according to a report published in Environmental Health Perspectives, the journal of the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. view more (2009-03-27)
Man may have caused pre-historic extinctions
New research shows that pre-historic horses in Alaska may have been hunted into extinction by man, rather than by climate change as previously thought. view more (2006-05-05)
Advance Warning of Storms and Cyclones with New Technique
The catastrophic flooding in Jakarta in February this year could have been predicted nearly 3 weeks in advance with a new technique being developed by Dr Matt Wheeler and colleagues at the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre in Australia. The flooding was caused by large waves of air and clouds, so called Madden-Julian Oscillations (MJOs).... view more... (2002-06-02)
Researchers find animal with ability to survive climate change
Queen's researchers have found that the main source of food for many fish - including cod - in the North Atlantic appears to adapt in order to survive climate change. view more (2008-09-24)
Supersizing the supercomputers: What's next?
Supercomputers excel at highly calculation-intensive tasks, such as molecular modeling and large-scale simulations, and have enabled significant scientific breakthroughs. view more (2005-08-31)
Has the mystery of the Antarctic ice sheet been solved?
A team of scientists from Cardiff University's School of Earth and Ocean Sciences and Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales travelled to Africa to find new evidence of climate change which helps explain some of the mystery surrounding the appearance of the Antarctic ice sheet. view more (2008-02-28)
Yale report cites emerging carbon finance market
Climate change is an unprecedented global problem and an emerging carbon finance market will play a critical role in addressing it, asserts a newly published Yale report. view more (2008-11-07)
Better water use could reduce future food crises
If the overall water resources in river basins were acknowledged and managed better, future food crises could be significantly reduced, say researchers from Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University, Stockholm Environment Institute and Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. view more (2009-05-06)
Wildlife catastrophe if climate change continues
Evidence is mounting that climate change is adversely affecting wildlife, an international scientific conference on climate change will hear today. view more (2005-01-31)
In the warming West, climate most significant factor in fanning wildfires' flames
The recent increase in area burned by wildfires in the Western United States is a product not of higher temperatures or longer fire seasons alone, but a complex relationship between climate and fuels that varies among different ecosystems. view more (2009-06-26)
Forests - just how absorbing are they?
Forests form an integral part of the Kyoto Protocol on climate change because they act as terrestrial "sinks" to soak up the carbon emissions that are contributing to global warming. Countries that have ratified the protocol can offset their carbon emissions quota by planting trees, either at home or in developing countries. But how... view more... (2003-03-13)
