Carbon turns over much faster through basal food-chain levels in aquatic than in terrestrial ecosystems
Global temperatures have increased dramatically over the past century, which is causing major impacts on climate patterns, ocean circulation and wildlife preservation. The increase in temperature is largely due to a rise of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, of which CO2 is one of the most important. To understand the capacity of... view more...

Climate ‘memory’ may aid long range forecasts
Researchers at Harper Adams University College, Shropshire, believe a ‘memory’ in the climate system could be tapped to improve long-range weather forecasts. In the April edition of ‘Weather,’ the journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, an article co-written by Dr Peter Kettlewell will show how summer rainfall levels... view more... (2003-03-25)
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)
Climate Prediction:
The symposium was held in Tokyo at the Tokyo International Forum on March 5th. It was opened by Mr. Uchida, Director General of NASDA (National Space Development Agency, Japan) and by A. Ghazi, Head of Biodiversity and Global Change Unit DG XII, European Commission. The discussions at the Hakone workshop underlined the existence of areas where the... view more... (1999-03-22)
Cardiac fibrillation of the climate
In the current issue of the Scientific Journal Nature Geoscience a group of Norwegian, Swiss and German geoscientists prove that before the set-in of the Holocene very rapid climate changes already existed. view more (2009-02-17)
Scientists discover new ocean current
Scientists at Georgia Tech have discovered a new climate pattern, the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation. This pattern explains, for the first time, changes in the water important in helping commercial fishermen understand fluctuations in the fish stock. They're also finding that as the Earth is warming, large fluctuations in these factors could help... view more... (2008-05-01)
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)
Highly sensitive weather radar a gain for climate research
TU Delft has taken a new weather radar system into use, the 'Drizzle Radar', which can observe even the lightest of drizzles. This is an enormous gain for climate researchers and is attracting international attention. view more (2007-08-27)
Computer models show major climate shift as a result of closing ozone hole
A new study led by Columbia University researchers has found that the closing of the ozone hole, which is projected to occur sometime in the second half of the 21st century, may significantly affect climate change in the Southern Hemisphere, and therefore, the global climate. view more (2008-06-13)
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)
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)
New study of solar system speculates about life on other planets
A comprehensive review by leading scientists about our Solar System which speculates on the possibility of life on other planets has been published. view more (2006-09-13)
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 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)
Science paper examines role of aerosols in climate change
A group of scientists affiliated with the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) have proposed a new framework to account more accurately for the effects of aerosols on precipitation in climate models. view more (2008-09-08)
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)
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)
Climate change poses a huge threat to human health
Climate change will have a huge impact on human health and bold environmental policy decisions are needed now to protect the world's population, according to the author of an article published in the BMJ today. view more (2008-01-25)
