Scientists find key to ocean bacterium that helps control greenhouse gas
Scientists are a step closer to understanding how the world's oceans influence global warming - as well supply us with the oxygen we breathe. A study led by Imperial College London has revealed how the most abundant ocean bound photosynthetic bacterium helps control levels of the greenhouse gas,... view more (2003-08-27)

Nitrogen study may improve ecological predictions
The pattern of nitrogen release from decaying plant material is remarkably similar and predictable across the planet, researchers have concluded in a new study, which should make it easier to understand nutrient dynamics, vegetation growth, estimate carbon release and sequestration, and better... view more (2007-01-19)

Are aerosols reducing coastal drizzle and increasing cloud cover?
Scientists sponsored by the Department of Energy are conducting a six-month atmospheric research campaign at the Point Reyes National Seashore, in Marin County, California. The experiment's goal is to help researchers understand how aerosols -small particles such as soot, dust and smoke-influence... view more (2005-07-01)

New policies needed to combat Global Change, says Commissioner Wallström
Never before have policy makers faced a more challenging task than responding to global change, said EU Environment Commissioner Margot Wallström, in an article in the International Herald Tribune today (http://www.iht.com/articles/125563.html) and in a statement made for the launch of a new... view more (2004-01-20)

UGA scientists discover bacterial 'switch gene' that regulates oceans' sulfur emissions into the air
The number of plankton in the seas is almost beyond comprehension. A single teaspoonful of ocean water holds several million of these microscopic drifters, and in recent years, scientists have discovered plankton are involved with everything from the health of the water to global warming.   view more (2006-10-27)

Tipping elements in the Earth's climate system
Anthropogenic forcing could push the Earth's climate system past critical thresholds, so that important components may "tip" into qualitatively different modes of operation.   view more (2008-02-05)

University launches new initiative for Earth System Modelling
REF: 99/6 21 JANUARY 1999   view more (1999-05-26)

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... view more (2008-05-01)

Citing Climate Change, Group, UNH Scientist Announce New Beginning of "Natural Spring"
The sun will still cross the equator on March 20th marking the vernal equinox and the official start of spring, but Mother Nature is increasingly getting a jumpstart on the celestial movements.   view more (2006-03-29)

Western prairies face impending water crisis
The Canadian prairies are facing an unprecedented water crisis due to a combination of climate warming, increase in human activity and historic drought.   view more (2006-04-04)

Ancient greenhouse emissions possible lessons for modern climate
Humans are performing a high-stakes climate experiment by burning fossil fuels that release heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.   view more (2006-02-17)

Long-term increase in rainfall seen in tropics
NASA scientists have detected the first signs that tropical rainfall is on the rise with the longest and most complete data record available.   view more (2007-08-28)

Coral reef decline-not just overfishing
Coral reefs, the rainforests of the sea, feed a large portion of the world's population, protect tropical shorelines from erosion, and harbor animals and plants with great potential to provide new therapeutic drugs.   view more (2005-08-24)

Global warming and your health
Global warming could do more to hurt your health than simply threaten summertime heat stroke, says a public health physician.   view more (2006-10-24)

Study Offers Preview of Ice Sheet Melting, Rapid Climate Changes
The retreat of a massive ice sheet that once covered much of northern Europe has been described for the first time, and researchers believe it may provide a sneak preview of how present-day ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica will act in the face of global warming.   view more (2006-03-15)

Satellite sniffs out chemical traces of atmospheric pollution
The recent Hague talks on global warming focused attention on the so-called greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. But these gases are only a part of the story. Mankind generates a wide variety of emissions that are changing the chemistry and composition of our planet~s atmosphere. Satellite... view more (2000-12-15)

Study provides first-ever look at combined causes of North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean freshening
A new analysis of 50 years of changes in freshwater inputs to the Arctic Ocean and North Atlantic may help shed light on what's behind the recently observed freshening of the North Atlantic Ocean.   view more (2006-08-25)

Reducing air pollution could increase rice harvests in India
New research from the University of California indicates that reductions of human-generated air pollution could create unexpected agricultural benefits in one of the world's poorest regions. These new findings will be published online the week of Dec. 4 in the journal Proceedings of the National... view more (2006-12-05)

Modern physics is critical to global warming research
Science has come a long way with predicting climate. Increasingly sophisticated models and instruments can zero in on a specific storm formation or make detailed weather forecasts - all useful to our daily lives. But to understand global climate change, scientists need more than just a one-day... view more (2008-03-12)

First direct evidence that human activity is linked to Antarctic Ice Shelf collapse
The first direct evidence linking human activity to the collapse of Antarctic ice shelves is published this week in the Journal of Climate.   view more (2006-10-17)

Americans remain pessimistic about the environment, Stanford-AP survey finds
Americans remain pessimistic about the state of the environment and want prompt action taken to improve its health, according to the second annual ''America's Report Card on the Environment''-a national public opinion survey conducted by the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford... view more (2007-09-28)

Climate change could impact vital functions of microbes
Global climate change will not only impact plants and animals but will also affect bacteria, fungi and other microbial populations that perform a myriad of functions important to life on earth.   view more (2008-06-03)

Climate swings have brought great CO2 pulses up from the deep sea
May 10, 2007, The Earth Institute at Columbia University—A study released today provides some of the first solid evidence that warming-induced changes in ocean circulation at the end of the last Ice Age caused vast quantities of ancient carbon dioxide to belch from the deep sea into the... view more (2007-05-14)

NOAA Aircraft to Probe Arctic Pollution
NOAA scientists are now flying through springtime Arctic pollution to find out why the region is warming - and summertime sea ice is melting - faster than predicted. Some 35 NOAA researchers are gathering with government and university colleagues in Fairbanks, Alaska, to conduct the study through... view more (2008-04-08)
