International meeting on the Southern Ocean
The Role of the Southern Ocean in Global Processes: an Earth System Science Approach - 14-16 July 2003, London Over 80 experts from around the world will meet next week (14-16 July) to discuss the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica. It's the first attempt by scientists to take a collective approach to investigating an important marine... view more... (2003-07-10)
Time series identify population responses to climate change
Biologists have for several years modeled how different species are likely to respond to climate change. Most such studies ignore differences between populations within a species and the interactions between species, in the interest of simplicity. view more (2009-06-01)
Federal government should give greater support to decision makers coping with climate change
Many state and local officials and private organizations are basing decisions -- such as how to build bridges or manage water supplies -- on the assumption that current climate conditions will continue, but that assumption is no longer valid. view more (2009-03-13)
Climate warming and habitat loss threaten British Butterfly survival
Because butterflies are cold blooded, their growth and development are closely dependent on the weather and climate. When climates change insects can either shift breeding distributions to track it, stay put and adapt, or die out. Since the 1970s, climate warming in Britain has seen almost 20% of butterflies spread their ranges northwards,... view more... (2003-06-05)
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)
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)
Media coverage affects perceptions of climate change
Climate change will not be taken seriously until the media highlights its significance, say researchers at the University of Liverpool. view more (2009-02-25)
Models look good when predicting climate change
The accuracy of computer models that predict climate change over the coming decades has been the subject of debate among politicians, environmentalists and even scientists. view more (2008-04-03)
Climate change may wake up 'sleeper' weeds
Climate change will cause some of Australia's potential weeds to move south by up to 1000km, according to a report by scientists at CSIRO's Climate Adaptation Flagship. view more (2009-04-15)
New markers of climate change
A new way to monitor the effects of climate change on rainforests is being investigated at Cambridge University. Researchers are using biomarkers in the shape of epiphytes ('air-plants' which grow on other plants) to find out how their photosynthesis and water evaporation have been affected by climate change over the last 50 years. view more (2005-07-13)
Eight institutes observe the climate together
Cooperation to better follow, understand and predict the climate Eight institutes observe the climate together On Thursday 23 May 2002, an agreement will be signed in Cabauw by 8 cooperating institutes situated in the Netherlands. The cooperation project is called CESAR, and is in the form of a national observatory for the atmosphere. The goal of... view more... (2002-05-21)
Fresh air for air passengers
Air travellers rarely think about the indoor climate in airport terminals, or about the kitchens where their in-flight meals are prepared. These catering centres are vast, busy facilities, often located in hot, humid climates - posing a challenge to ventilation systems. Air distribution in public areas of airports is another crucial, demanding... view more... (2005-04-07)
Statement From Secretary Of State Margaret Beckett Supporting The Launch Of The British Council's Climate Change Communications Initiative
Margaret Beckett, Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Secretary, welcomed the launch of the British Council's global climate change communications programme. view more (2005-03-02)
Marine fossils improve predictions of climate change
A study of the ancient Mediterranean Sea will help to produce more accurate predictions of climate change. A team led by Royal Holloway geologist Dr Michal Kucera will map sea-surface temperature of the Mediterranean over past millennia. The data will provide a new target to test the computer models on which our predictions of climate change are... view more... (2002-06-06)
Tracking down abrupt climate changes
In an article in the scientific magazine Nature - Geosciences, the geoscientists Achim Brauer, Peter Dulski and Jörg Negendank, (emeritus Professor) from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Gerald Haug from the DFG-Leibniz Center for Surface Processes and Climate Studies at the University of Potsdam and the ETH in Zurich, and... view more...

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)
Scientists aim to bring indigenous people into climate change monitoring and policy
Scientists at the Missouri Botanical Garden are calling for the inclusion of indigenous peoples around the world in helping monitor the effects of global climate change and develop policy. view more (2009-05-13)
Climate change predicted to drive trees northward
The most extensive and detailed study to date of 130 North American tree species concludes that expected climate change this century could shift their ranges northward by hundreds of kilometers and shrink the ranges by more than half. view more (2007-12-03)
Emissions irrelevant to future climate change?
Climate change and the carbon emissions seem inextricably linked. However, new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Carbon Balance and Management suggests that this may not always hold true, although it may be some time before we reach this saturation point. view more (2008-04-28)
Gardens in space
A model of a system for growing plants to plan biological experiments in space has just left the company of ROVSING, in Ballerup near Copenhagen, on its way to ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands. The full name of this experiment reference model is European Modular Cultivation System Experiment... view more... (2002-05-13)
