Studying rivers for clues to global carbon cycle
In the science world, in the media, and recently, in our daily lives, the debate continues over how carbon in the atmosphere is affecting global climate change. Studying just how carbon cycles throughout the Earth is an enormous challenge, but one Northwestern University professor is doing his part by studying one important segment -- rivers. view more (2008-02-11)
Global Warming: Cuts in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Would Save Arctic Ice, Reduce Sea Level Rise
The threat of global warming can still be greatly diminished if nations cut emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases by 70 percent this century, according to a new analysis. view more (2009-04-15)
Comet impact theory disproved
New data, published today, disproves the recent theory that a large comet exploded over North America 12,900 years ago, causing a shock wave that travelled across North America at hundreds of kilometres per hour and triggering continent-wide wildfires. view more (2009-01-27)
New earth observation centres announced
Two new centres which will use satellites and models to help forecast earthquakes and the effects of carbon in climate change were announced (Wednesday 17 October) by Lord Sainsbury, Science & Innovation Minister. Said Lord Sainsbury, " I am delighted to announce that the Natural Environment Research Council is establishing two new... view more... (2001-10-19)
Regardless of global warming, rising CO2 levels threaten marine life
Like a piece of chalk dissolving in vinegar, marine life with hard shells is in danger of being dissolved by increasing acidity in the oceans. view more (2007-03-09)
Andrill demonstrates climate warming affects Antarctic ice sheet stability
A five-nation scientific team has published new evidence that even a slight rise in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, one of the gases that drives global warming, affects the stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS). view more (2009-03-19)
Wetlands likely source of methane from ancient warming event
An expansion of wetlands and not a large-scale melting of frozen methane deposits is the likely cause of a spike in atmospheric methane gas that took place some 11,600 years ago, according to an international research team led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. view more (2009-04-24)
North Pole's ancient past holds lessons for future global warming
Detailed information on greenhouse gasses and a subtropical heat wave at the North Pole 55 million years ago is providing information about the Earth's past as well as a portent for its future, according to reports in the June 1 issue of Nature. view more (2006-06-01)
How Solid Is Concrete's Carbon Footprint?
Many scientists currently think at least 5 percent of humanity's carbon footprint comes from the concrete industry, both from energy use and the carbon dioxide (CO2) byproduct from the production of cement, one of concrete's principal components. view more (2009-05-19)
Corals and Climate Change
A modest new lab at the Rosenstiel School is the first of its kind to tackle the global problem of climate change impacts on corals. view more (2007-08-23)
Researchers make breakthrough in the production of double-walled carbon nanotubes
In recent years, the possible applications for double-walled carbon nanotubes have excited scientists and engineers, particularly those working on developing renewable energy technologies. view more (2008-12-23)
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)
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, carbon dioxide. Reporting in Nature the researchers... view more... (2003-08-27)
First-ever 'State of the Carbon Cycle Report' finds troubling imbalance
The first "State of the Carbon Cycle Report" for North America, released online this week by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, finds the continent's carbon budget increasingly overwhelmed by human-caused emissions. view more (2007-11-15)
A bumpy shift from ice house to greenhouse
The transition from an ice age to an ice-free planet 300 million years ago was highly unstable, marked by dips and rises in carbon dioxide, extreme swings in climate and drastic effects on tropical vegetation, according to a study published in the journal Science Jan. 5. view more (2007-01-05)
Hold your breath; Plants may absorb less carbon dioxide than we thought
The world's land plants will probably not be able to absorb as great a share of the rising atmospheric carbon dioxide as some models have predicted. view more (2006-04-13)
Decline in greenhouse gas emissions would reduce sea-level rise, save Arctic Sea ice
The threat of global warming can still be greatly diminished if nations cut emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases by 70 percent this century, according to a new analysis. view more (2009-04-15)
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)
Forest fires may lead to cooling of northern climate
Countering hypotheses that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists at UC Irvine have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where charred trees expose more snow, which reflects sunlight into space. view more (2006-11-17)
Biologists: Greening Arctic not likely to offset permafrost carbon release
As the frozen soil in the Arctic thaws, bacteria will break down organic matter, releasing long-stored carbon into the warming atmosphere. view more (2009-05-28)
