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)
Safe Heating of Explosive Gases
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) has developed the micro structured gas heater MSGH for combustible or explosive media. A clear separation of the space containing the medium from the heating elements allows safe heating and overheating of process gases, gas mixtures or gas/vapour mixtures. The MSGH has 50 cubic centimetres of... view more... (2004-06-23)
UN body asks Lund Researchers to investigate new type of carbon sink
Trade in emission rights is intended to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases. Countries with natural carbon sinks—areas that absorb more carbon dioxide than they give off—can ‘trade off’ that resource in return for their commitments to reduce emissions. Thus far this has largely involved forests. But now a new and... view more... (2001-11-09)
Southern Ocean could slow global warming
The Southern Ocean may slow the rate of global warming by absorbing significantly more heat and carbon dioxide than previously thought, according to new research. view more (2006-12-06)
Innovative System For Testing Tunnel Safety
LABEIN Tecnological Centre, based in the Basque Country, has developed an innovative system for verifying tunnel safety in the case of fire. The new system, developed at the request of the Gipuzkoa Provincial Government, has been successfully tested in the new Lezarri (Bergara) tunnel on the A1 Eibar-Vitoria motorway. The novel element in the... view more... (2004-01-22)
Aerosols may drive a significant portion of arctic warming
Though greenhouse gases are invariably at the center of discussions about global climate change, new NASA research suggests that much of the atmospheric warming observed in the Arctic since 1976 may be due to changes in tiny airborne particles called aerosols. view more (2009-04-09)
Carnegie Mellon urges industry to broaden carbon footprint calculations
Carnegie Mellon University researchers are urging companies to embrace new methods for following the trail of dangerous carbon emissions that are responsible for much of the world's global warming threats. view more (2008-08-18)
AGU Journal European Highlights - 21 June 2002
American Geophysical Union AGU Journal European Highlights - 21 June 2002 ***** The following highlights are from Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) and the Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres (JGR-D). The research papers related to these Highlights will be printed in the next paper issues of the respective journals following their... view more... (2002-06-21)
2007 was tied as Earth's second warmest year
Climatologists at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City have found that 2007 tied with 1998 for Earth's second warmest year in a century. view more (2008-01-17)
Stratospheric injections could help cool Earth, computer model shows
A two-pronged approach to stabilizing climate, with cuts in greenhouse gas emissions as well as injections of climate-cooling sulfates, could prove more effective than either approach used separately. view more (2006-09-15)
Record highs far outpace record lows across US
Spurred by a warming climate, daily record high temperatures occurred twice as often as record lows over the last decade across the continental United States, new research shows. view more (2009-11-13)
Voyager data may reveal trajectory of solar system
Nearly 30 years after launch, the two Voyager spacecraft are still operational and returning useful data. In their early years they produced some of the first close up images of the large outer planets. view more (2006-05-31)
Volcanoes helped slow ocean warming trend, researchers find
Ocean temperatures might have risen even higher during the last century if it weren't for volcanoes that spewed ashes and aerosols into the upper atmosphere, researchers have found. The eruptions also offset a large percentage of sea level rise caused by human activity. view more (2006-02-10)
Carbon dioxide role in past climate revealed
Researchers at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the University of California, Santa Cruz have discovered that Earth's last great global warming period, 3 million years ago, may have been caused by levels of CO2 in the atmosphere similar to today's. view more (2005-04-11)
NORTH ATLANTIC SLOWS DOWN THE GREENHOUSE-EFFECT
What sounds to us like bookkeeping of global change and tedious science, has a big meaning for our climate future. After all, traffic and industrial plants in Europe and North America play a particularly large role in the carbon dioxide pollution of the atmosphere and the greenhouse-effect resulting from it. The processes in the North Atlantic... view more... (1999-06-08)
Field Project Seeks Clues to Climate Change in Remote Atmospheric Region
Scientists are deploying an advanced research aircraft to study a region of the atmosphere that influences climate change by affecting the amount of solar heat that reaches Earth's surface. view more (2008-06-13)
Slowdown in tropical Pacific flow pinned on climate change
The vast loop of winds that drives climate and ocean behavior across the tropical Pacific has weakened by 3.5% since the mid-1800s, and it may weaken another 10% by 2100. view more (2006-05-04)
Automation increases worker efficiency in greenhouses, nurseries
A report published in the October 2008 issue of HortTechnology measures the socioeconomic impact of automation and mechanization on sales, employment, workers' earnings, safety and worker retention in nurseries and greenhouses. view more (2009-02-04)
Carbon turns over much faster through basal food-chain levels in aquatic than in terrestrial ecosystems
Global temperatures have increased dramatically over the past century, which is causing major impacts on climate patterns, ocean circulation and wildlife preservation. The increase in temperature is largely due to a rise of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, of which CO2 is one of the most important. To understand the capacity of... view more...

Monster hurricanes
New research calls into question the linkage between major Atlantic hurricanes and global warming. That is one of the conclusions from a University of Virginia study to appear in the May 10, 2006 issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters. view more (2006-05-10)
