Snowball Antarctica - early Drake passage opening led to global change
New results shed light on how Antarctica became the icy, barren continent that we know today. view more (2005-08-31)
Even a little cooling helps after cardiac arrest
As many as 400,000 people in North America suffer sudden cardiac arrest. Only 30% have their hearts restarted, and only about 6% survive to hospital discharge. Once the heart is restarted, a significant factor for subsequent death is brain injury. view more (2006-05-18)
Tropical forests — Earth's air conditioner
Planting and protecting trees—which trap and absorb carbon dioxide as they grow—can help to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. view more (2007-04-10)
Cooling milk using sun energy
The company Tarre of Navarre, Basque Country, in collaboration with the Public University of Navarre has built a prototype for cooling milk. This cooling and maintenance system takes the energy directly from a photovoltaic system and so there is no need to use batteries. The prototype integrates two concentric cylindrical tanks in a single... view more... (2002-12-03)
Inside the Ozone Layer
A new atmospheric model is able to quantify man-made versus naturally occurring damage to the stratosphere with an eye toward repairing the diminishing ozone layer that is located within the stratosphere. view more (2006-02-24)
How chilly was the last ice age?
Polar oceans permanently covered with ice, temperatures ten to twelve degrees Celsius lower than today in the North Atlantic region, tropical oceans on the other hand only two degrees Celsius below modern values: Until quite recently these were the general ideas climate researchers had about the climax of the last ice age 20.000 years ago. Now... view more... (1999-05-03)
Coralline algae in the Mediterranean lost their tropical element between 5 and 7 million years ago
An international team of researchers has studied the coralline algae fossils that lived on the last coral reefs of the Mediterranean Sea between 7.24 and 5.3 million years ago. view more (2009-07-07)
Climate change responsible for increased hurricanes
Human induced climate change, rather than naturally occurring ocean cycles, may be responsible for the recent increases in frequency and strength of North Atlantic hurricanes. view more (2006-05-31)
Climate models consistent with ocean warming observations
Climate models are reliable tools that help researchers better understand the observed record of ocean warming and variability. view more (2007-06-19)
Scientists at the University of the Basque Country succeed in cooling solid material with laser
A team of researchers at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) have experimentally demonstrated something that other scientists have been trying to achieve for decades: the cooling of erbium-doped materials with laser light. view more (2006-07-27)
Cooling analgesia harnessed to relieve chronic pain
By experimentally activating a special protein involved in mediating sensations of coolness, researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding how the body's nervous system can be stimulated to relieve chronic pain. view more (2006-08-22)
Temperate Forests Could Worsen Global Warming
Growing a forest might sound like a good idea to combat global warming, since trees draw carbon dioxide from the air and release cool water from their leaves. view more (2005-12-07)
State of the steric sea level rise, 1955-2003
Based on a detailed analysis of ocean vertical temperature profiles for the 1955-2008 period, Sydney Levitus, lead author, talks about the change of global average sea level induced by the observed warming of the world ocean during the past 53 years. view more (2009-02-17)
Mercury's shifting, rolling past
Patterns of scalloped-edged cliffs or lobate scarps on Mercury's surface are thrust faults that are consistent with the planet shrinking and cooling with time. However, compression occurred in the planet's early history and Mariner 10 images revealed decades ago that lobate scarps are among the youngest' features on Mercury. Why don't we find more... view more... (2008-03-18)
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)
Skin cooling associated with increased risk of discoloration after laser treatment
A cooling technique intended to protect the skin may actually increase the risk of discoloration in dark-skinned patients undergoing laser treatments for mole-like skin lesions. view more (2007-09-18)
Decline of carbon dioxide-gobbling plankton coincided with ancient global cooling
The evolutionary history of diatoms -- abundant oceanic plankton that remove billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the air each year -- needs to be rewritten, according to a new Cornell study. view more (2009-01-09)
The tropics play a more active role than was thought in controlling the Earth's climate
Researchers from the Universitat Aut√≤noma de Barcelona and Durham University (UK) have discovered that a million years ago, global climate changes occurred due to changes in tropical circulation in the Pacific similar to those caused by El Ni√ħo today. view more (2005-10-12)
UC Davis Challenge Produces a Better Air Conditioner
The first certified winner of the UC Davis "Western Cooling Challenge" is Coolerado Corp. of Denver. view more (2009-08-14)
Trees to offset the carbon footprint?
How effective are new trees in offsetting the carbon footprint? A new study suggests that the location of the new trees is an important factor when considering such carbon offset projects. Planting and preserving forests in the tropics is more likely to slow down global warming. view more (2007-04-10)
