Notre Dame study provides insights into how climate change might impact species' geographic ranges
A new study by a team of researchers led by Jessica Hellmann, assistant professor of biological sciences at the University of Notre Dame, offers interesting insights into how species may, or may not, change their geographic range - the place where they live on earth - under climate change. view more (2009-06-24)
New Evidence of Climate Change in Western Canada
A new study of snow accumulation on Canada's highest mountain provides strong evidence that significant climate change has occurred in Western Canada over the past 150 years. The study, which will appear in the Nov. 28th issue of Nature, examines climate change over the past 300 years and provides evidence that both surface and atmospheric... view more... (2002-11-26)
Forests damaged by Katrina may contribute to global warming
Researchers led by biologist Jeffrey Chambers of Tulane University have determined that the losses inflicted by Hurricane Katrina on Gulf Coast forest trees are enough to cancel out a year's worth of new tree biomass (trunks, branches and foliage) growth in other parts of the country. view more (2007-11-16)
Storage of greenhouse gasses in Siberian peat moor
Wet peat moorlands form a sustainable storage place for the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide but are also a source of the much stronger greenhouse gas methane. According to Dutch researcher Wiebe Borren, peat moorlands will counteract the greenhouse effect under the present climatic conditions. view more (2007-01-31)
New research suggests Burmese pythons will find little suitable habitat outside South Florida
Burmese Pythons - one of the largest snakes in the world - may have chosen Florida as a vacation destination, but are unlikely to expand further. view more (2008-08-13)
Coral reefs may hold clue to global warming
The El Nino effect, responsible for droughts, floods, cyclones, and storms, is an important aspect of climate change in this area. Information gleaned from the investigation will aid increased knowledge of global warming and may be used by governments when establishing energy policies. Researcher Dr Sandy Tudhope explains the three year project... view more... (2000-01-20)
Water vapor confirmed as major player in climate change
Water vapor is known to be Earth's most abundant greenhouse gas, but the extent of its contribution to global warming has been debated. view more (2008-11-18)
Greenhouse gases likely drove near-record US warmth in 2006
Greenhouse gases likely accounted for over half of the widespread warmth across the continental United States in 2006, according to a new study that will be published 5 September in Geophysical Research Letters, a publication of the American Geophysical Union. view more (2007-08-29)
Aircraft and radar antenna help test instruments for space mission
The CLRC Chilbolton Observatory in Hampshire has been host to scientists from the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands who have been testing radar and lidar instruments on board three separate aircraft, together with many ground-based instruments, to test the feasibility for a future European space mission which will gather data from space on... view more...

Scientists use new techniques to narrow down impact of global warming on specific regions
People will soon be able to find out how vulnerable their own local area is to global warming, thanks to new techniques developed by scientists. view more (2005-11-28)
Improved predictions of warming-induced extinctions sought
In the March 2007 issue of BioScience, an international team of 19 researchers calls for better forecasting of the effects of global warming on extinction rates. view more (2007-03-01)
Invititation to the Media - Soils as carbon sinks-a breathing space in the race against global warming?
Can we use land carbon sinks as a way to buy time for the restructuring of our energy generation? "We estimate soil carbon sinks could mitigate 8% of the EU`s emissions if major changes were made in land use and agricultural management ," says Professor David Powlson of IACR Rothamsted. However; How many of the land-use options are practicable?... view more... (2002-06-26)
Sulfate lens enhances climate warming properties of atmospheric soot
Particulate pollution thought to be holding climate change in check by reflecting sunlight instead enhances warming when combined with airborne soot, a new study has found. view more (2009-06-30)
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)
Life on the edge: To disperse, or become extinct?
The hardiest plants and those most likely to survive the climatic shifts brought about by global warming are now easier to identify, thanks to new research findings by a team from Queen's University. view more (2008-06-24)
New mathematical method allows scientists to better predict the effects of global warming
Scientists may soon have a better idea of the potential effects of global warming thanks to the work of Tony O’Hagan, Professor of Statistics at the University of Sheffield. Scientists already know that global warming will have consequences for the earth but are unsure how mild or severe these effects may be, due to the inaccuracies in... view more... (2002-09-12)
Natural climate change may be larger than commonly thought
A new study of climate in the Northern Hemisphere for the past 2000 years shows that natural climate change may be larger than generally thought. This is displayed in results from scientists at the Stockholm University, made in cooperation with Russian scientists, which are published in Nature on 10 Feb 2005. view more (2005-02-09)
Century of data shows intensification of water cycle but no increase in storms or floods
A review of the findings from more than 100 peer-reviewed studies shows that although many aspects of the global water cycle have intensified, including precipitation and evaporation, this trend has not consistently resulted in an increase in the frequency or intensity of tropical storms or floods over the past century. view more (2006-03-16)
