Drainage system still not fully developed
Drainage systems can be far better designed. This is one of the conclusions that Professor Fran'§ois Clemens comes to in his thesis, for which he received his PhD on Tuesday 13 March. “The models that are used for the development of drainage systems are not realistic,” says Clemens, “That means to many or to few measures are... view more...

Electric sand findings could lead to better climate models
Wind isn't acting alone in the geological process behind erosion, sand dunes and airborne dust particles called aerosols. view more (2008-01-08)
Oceanic seesaw links Northern and Southern hemisphere during abrupt climate change
Very large and abrupt changes in temperature recorded over Greenland and across the North Atlantic during the last Ice Age were actually global in extent, according to an international team of researchers led by Cardiff University. view more (2009-02-26)
First British Glacial Map to predict future climate change
An academic from the University of Sheffield has produced the first glacial map of Britain, which could allow us to better predict climate change in the future. The map is published in the latest edition of the journal Boreas. view more (2004-11-23)
Emperor Penguins March toward Extinction?
Popularized by the 2005 movie "March of the Penguins," emperor penguins could be headed toward extinction in at least part of their range before the end of the century, according to a paper by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) researchers published January 26, 2009, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the... view more...

Floods to become commonplace by 2080
Flooding like that which devastated the North of England last year is set to become a common event across the UK in the next 75 years, new research has shown. view more (2009-01-08)
Climate studies to benefit from 12 years of satellite aerosol data
Aerosols, very small particles suspended in the air, play an important role in the global climate balance and in regulating climate change. view more (2009-11-11)
New Centre For Satellite Observation Established In North Wales
North Wales is to play a major role in using information from earth-orbiting satellites to improve predictions of future environmental change. The School of Ocean Sciences at University of Wales, Bangor will be part of a national Centre of Excellence in Earth Observation which is to be established with funding of £2 million from the Natural... view more...

Scientists take off on historic mission to measure greenhouse gases that have an impact on climate
HIAPER, one of the nation's most advanced research aircraft, is scheduled to embark on an historic mission spanning the globe from the Arctic to the Antarctic. view more (2009-01-08)
At Least Part of Climate Change is Man-Made
Humanity does seem to have been a major contributor to global warming after all. This has been demonstrated by new simulations carried out at the University of Bonn. The Bonn meteorologists used about 30 different models to investigate how the Earth's average annual temperature would have developed with and without the influence of climate gases.... view more...

Tropical regions to be hardest hit by fisheries shifts caused by climate change: UBC research
Major shifts in fisheries distribution due to climate change will affect food security in tropical regions most adversely, according to a study led by the Sea Around Us Project at The University of British Columbia. view more (2009-10-08)
Report - adapting farming to climate change
CSIRO today released a national overview of climate change impacts and adaptation options for Australian agriculture. view more (2008-06-26)
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)
A change in the wind
Climate model simulations for the 21st century indicate a robust increase in wind shear in the tropical Atlantic due to global warming, which may inhibit hurricane development and intensification. view more (2007-04-18)
Greenhouse gas effect consistent over 420 million years
New calculations show that sensitivity of Earth's climate to changes in the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) has been consistent for the last 420 million years, according to an article in Nature by geologists at Yale and Wesleyan Universities. view more (2007-03-29)
Australia's top models at science conference
Australia's top models will take centre stage in Cairns this week as scientists meet to discuss ways to understand climate change, improve air safety and enhance agricultural sustainability. view more (2009-07-14)
Models Simulate Nitrate Dynamics in Garonne, Southwest France
The over-enrichment of fresh, transitional, and marine waters with nitrogen (N) can lead to problems associated with eutrophication, such as a change in species composition of aquatic plants and nuisance algal blooms. In this context, dynamic models of flow and water quality are required to aid the implementation of the Water Framework Directive... view more... (2009-01-06)
New model revises estimates of terrestrial carbon dioxide uptake
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new model of global carbon and nitrogen cycling that will fundamentally transform the understanding of how plants and soils interact with a changing atmosphere and climate. view more (2007-12-12)
Future climate change in North-Western Europe may come as a shock
North-Western Europe could be in for some sudden climatic surprises in the future, say scientists speaking at the launch of a new book on global environmental change*. North-Western Europe is kept warm by an ocean current known as the North Atlantic Current, an extension of the Gulf Stream which brings warm water from the tropics to the north.... view more...

Berkeley Lab Researchers Propose a New Breed of Supercomputers for Improving Global Climate Predictions
Three researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have proposed an innovative way to improve global climate change predictions by using a supercomputer with low-power embedded microprocessors, an approach that would overcome limitations posed by today's conventional supercomputers. view more (2008-05-07)
