Fantastic plastic could cut CO2 emissions and purify water
A new membrane that mimics pores found in plants has applications in water, energy and climate change mitigation. view more (2007-10-12)
Dust threatens Kyoto protocol
On the eve of the Earth Summit in Johannesburg, scientists at UCL have detected a flaw in the Kyoto protocol`s global plans to reduce the impact of global warming, all because of something as simple as atmospheric dust. Dr Mark Maslin of UCL`s Environmental Change Research Centre explains: "Dust is vital to the health of the planet. This is not... view more... (2002-08-07)
US fires release large amounts of carbon dioxide
Large-scale fires in a western or southeastern state can pump as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in a few weeks as the state's entire motor vehicle traffic does in a year. view more (2007-11-01)
No quick or easy technological fix for climate change, researchers say
Global warming, some have argued, can be reversed with a large-scale "geoengineering" fix, such as having a giant blimp spray liquefied sulfur dioxide in the stratosphere or building tens of millions of chemical filter systems in the atmosphere to filter out carbon dioxide. view more (2008-12-18)
In new study, ancient and modern evidence suggests limits to future global warming
Instrumental readings made during the past century offer ample evidence that carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere are warming Earth's climate, a team led by Duke University scientists has reported. view more (2006-04-20)
Smithsonian scientists highlight environmental impacts of biofuels
Biofuels reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in comparison to fossil fuels. In the Jan. 4 issue of the journal Science, Smithsonian researchers highlight a new study that factors in environmental costs of biofuel production. Corn, soy and sugarcane come up short. view more (2008-01-04)
Scientists take off on historic mission to measure greenhouse gases that have an impact on climate
HIAPER, one of the nation's most advanced research aircraft, is scheduled to embark on an historic mission spanning the globe from the Arctic to the Antarctic. view more (2009-01-08)
Climate History Rewritten: Arctic Ice an Early Arrival
For the first time, scientists have pulled up prehistoric geologic records from the frigid vault of the Arctic Ocean. One of the findings, evidence of glacial Arctic ice from 45 million years ago, recasts a critical chapter of global climate history. view more (2006-06-01)
Constructal theory predicts global climate patterns in simple way
A unifying physics principle that describes design in nature predicts, in surprisingly straightforward fashion, the basic features of global circulation and climate. view more (2006-02-09)
Economical, nonpolluting solutions to greenhouse growing found
A recent study of an ancient growing medium has implications for advancing growth and yield of greenhouse crops grown in soilless conditions. view more (2007-10-31)
Arctic Coring Expedition Continues to Yield New Clues About Climate Change
For the second time in as many months, the IODP Arctic Coring Expedition (ACEX) is making news with new analysis of ocean-floor sediments. view more (2006-08-10)
Well-informed citizens consider CO2 storage to be acceptable
When energy is generated from fossil fuels, the greenhouse gases produced contribute to climate change. By capturing the CO2 produced and storing it underground, a major objection to the use of fossil fuels can be overcome. view more (2006-04-19)
Biofuel carbon footprint not as big as feared, Michigan State University research says
Publications ranging from the journal Science to Time magazine have blasted biofuels for significantly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, calling into question the environmental benefits of making fuel from plant material. But a new analysis by Michigan State University scientists says these dire predictions are based on a set of... view more... (2009-01-16)
Carnegie Mellon studies how climate change impacts food production
The old adage, "We are what we eat,'' may be the latest recipe for success when it comes to curbing the perils of global climate warming. view more (2008-04-22)
Global 'sunscreen' has likely thinned, report NASA scientists
A new NASA study has found that an important counter-balance to the warming of our planet by greenhouse gases - sunlight blocked by dust, pollution and other aerosol particles - appears to have lost ground. view more (2007-03-19)
Finding energy solutions for this generation without compromising the future
As the World's oil, coal and gas reserves run low and countries work to reduce their greenhouse gases, we are looking for new ways to keep power flowing to our homes and industries. So, where should our money be spent when it comes to looking at alternative ways of providing energy? On Friday June 29th leading academics and industrialists are... view more... (2001-06-25)
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)
Burying the greenhouse gas
To prevent global warming, researchers and policymakers are exploring a variety of options to significantly cut the amount of carbon dioxide that reaches the atmosphere. view more (2008-11-18)
Irrigation may not cool the globe in the future
Expansion of irrigation has masked greenhouse warming in California's Central Valley, but irrigation may not make much of a difference in the future, according to a new study in the Aug. 13 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2007-08-15)
What goes down, must come up: Earth's leaky mantle
A new analysis of the processes that constantly stir the Earth's deep mantle is helping to explain how the mantle holds onto a portion of ancient noble gases that were trapped during the Earth's formation. view more (2009-05-28)
