New research detects human-induced climate change at a regional scale
Canadian and British climate scientists have clearly detected human-induced climate change at a regional scale in Canada, southern Europe and China.   view more (2006-09-22)

Warming could free far more carbon from high Arctic soil than earlier thought
Scientists studying the effects of carbon on climate warming are very likely underestimating, by a vast amount, how much soil carbon is available in the high Arctic to be released into the atmosphere, new University of Washington research shows.   view more (2005-12-06)

ESA to select new Earth Explorer missions
An important milestone for ESA's Living Planet Programme is to be reached this spring when it will be decided which of the six candidate Earth Explorer missions are to be selected for development. Before decisions are taken, the user community is invited to express their views at the Earth Explorer... view more (2004-02-05)

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)

Greenland glaciers dumping ice into Atlantic at faster pace
The amount of ice that Greenland's glaciers dump into the Atlantic Ocean has almost doubled in the last five years because glaciers are moving faster, according to a new Science study.   view more (2006-02-17)

New observations and climate model data confirm recent warming of the tropical atmosphere
For the first time, new climate observations and computer models provide a consistent picture of recent warming of the tropical atmosphere.   view more (2005-08-12)

The future of biofuels is not in corn
The future of biofuels is not in corn, says a new report released today by Food & Water Watch, the Network for New Energy Choices, and the Vermont Law School Institute for Energy and the Environment.   view more (2007-07-19)

Icy calculations on a hot topic
University of Utah mathematicians have arrived at a new understanding of how salt-saturated ocean water flows through sea ice - a discovery that promises to improve forecasts of how global warming will affect polar icepacks.   view more (2007-09-11)

Researchers link ocean organisms with increased cloud cover and potential climate change
Atmospheric scientists have reported a new and potentially important mechanism by which chemical emissions from ocean phytoplankton may influence the formation of clouds that reflect sunlight away from our planet.   view more (2006-11-08)

Vegetation growth may quickly raise Arctic temperatures
Warming in the Arctic is stimulating the growth of vegetation and could affect the delicate energy balance there, causing an additional climate warming of several degrees over the next few decades.   view more (2005-09-06)

NASA launches airborne study of arctic atmosphere, air pollution
This month, NASA begins the most extensive field campaign ever to investigate the chemistry of the Arctic's lower atmosphere. The mission is poised to help scientists identify how air pollution contributes to climate changes in the Arctic.   view more (2008-04-02)

Studying climate change in the Arctic: Scientists and students working together
The Arctic is undergoing tremendous changes related to global warming. It is a key component of Earth's linked physical, biological, and cultural systems, and climate change is both impacting the functioning of the Arctic and altering feedbacks from the Arctic to the global climate system.   view more (2005-09-28)

Hotting up - first results from the 'Earth Simulator' supercomputer
The first results from British and Japanese researchers working with the world's largest computer, the gigantic Earth Simulator supercomputer in Japan, are being showcased at a climate workshop which starts today at Cambridge University. Professor Julia Slingo, the Director of the NCAS Centre for... view more (2003-09-25)

Sustainable development now more urgent than ever, says IGBP scientist
GOTHENBURG - The global environment is in the midst of a profound transformation making sustainable development a matter of urgency, said Dr Will Steffen from the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP, www.igbp.kva.se) at a major international consultation on education for... view more (2004-05-05)

Unexpected growth in atmospheric CO2
A team of scientists has found that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) growth has increased 35 percent faster than expected since 2000. The findings are published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).   view more (2007-10-23)

Climate change means time is running out for ski resorts built on glaciers
As the first snowfalls mark the opening of the new skiing season in Europe, glaciologists at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (UWA) are warning that time may be running out for ski resorts built on glaciers. Dr Bryn Hubbard of the Centre for Glaciology at UWA is studying the response of some of... view more (2003-11-26)

Wildlife Conservation Society study finds seasonal seas save corals with 'tough love'
Finally, some good news about the prospects of coral reefs in the age of climate change. According to a new study by the Wildlife Conservation Society, corals may actually survive rising ocean temperatures in 'tough love' seas with wide-ranging temperatures.   view more (2007-11-30)

A warming climate can support glacial ice
New research challenges the generally accepted belief that substantial ice sheets could not have existed on Earth during past super-warm climate events.   view more (2008-01-11)

NASA data show some African drought linked to warmer Indian Ocean
A new study, co-funded by NASA, has identified a link between a warming Indian Ocean and less rainfall in eastern and southern Africa. Computer models and observations show a decline in rainfall, with implications for the region's food security.   view more (2008-08-06)

Yellow fever threatens to make a come back
Yellow fever has been written off in the past as a global threat. Yet the failure to eradicate this disease has left the door open for new, large, outbreaks as vaccination of travellers and tropical populations declines, according to an article in the February issue of Microbiology Today magazine... view more (2002-02-11)
