Papahanaumokuakea National Monument Facing Hurricane Neki
A hurricane warning is in force for the Papahanaumokuakea National Monument from Nihoa Island to French Frigate Shoals to Maro Reef. Hurricane conditions likely there by 5 a.m. HST on Friday, October 23. View More (2009-10-23)
Haiti reconstruction will require local input
Destruction in Haiti, the result of a January 12 earthquake, is staggering. The majority of the capital city of Port-au-Prince will have to be rebuilt from scratch. View More (2010-01-27)
Survey finds many Katrina evacuees had chronic health problems and no health insurance
To give voice to people whose lives have been devastated by Hurricane Katrina and the ensuing floods, The Washington Post, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and the Harvard School of Public Health conducted a unique survey of evacuees in shelters in the Houston area. View More (2005-09-19)
Birth of a hurricane
Summer storms are a regular feature in the North Atlantic, and while most pose little threat to our shores, a choice few become devastating hurricanes. View More (2010-07-28)
Clustered hurricanes reduce impact on ecosystems
New research has found that hurricane activity is 'clustered' rather than random, which has important long-term implications for coastal ecosystems and human population. View More (2011-10-18)
Surprisingly regular patterns in hurricane energy discovered
Researchers at Mathematics Research Centre and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have discovered the mathematical relation between the number of hurricanes produced in certain parts of the planet and the energy they release. View More (2010-07-12)
Hurricane Katrina evacuees had deep distrust of public health authorities
While investigating the impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans evacuees, a group of UCLA researchers stumbled across something they had not been looking for - the deep level of distrust the largely minority victims felt toward public health authorities. View More (2007-05-02)
NASA/NOAA's Suomi NPP captures night-time view of Sandy's landfall
As Hurricane Sandy made a historic landfall on the New Jersey coast during the night of Oct. 29, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on NASA/NOAA's Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite captured this night-time view of the storm. View More (2012-11-01)
Ocean's Color Affects Hurricane Paths
A change in the color of ocean waters could have a drastic effect on the prevalence of hurricanes, new research indicates. View More (2010-08-16)
New faraway sensors warn of emerging hurricane's strength
A new study supported by NASA and the U.S. Office of Naval Research takes forecasters one step further to improving their ability to predict just how powerful an oncoming storm may become by using highly-sensitive sensors located thousands of miles from the storm to detect lightning outbreaks within a hurricane's most dangerous area.

NRL measures record wave during Hurricane Ivan
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory-Stennis Space Center (NRL-SSC) measured a record-size ocean wave when the eye of Hurricane Ivan passed over NRL moorings deployed last May in the Gulf of Mexico. View More (2005-08-05)
Study: Major hurricane could devastate Houston
With the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season less than a week away, a new analysis from experts at several Texas universities is warning that a major hurricane could devastate the Houston/Galveston region. View More (2010-05-27)
FSU scientists use unique model to predict active 2010 hurricane season
Florida State University scientists who have developed a unique computer model with a knack for predicting hurricanes with unprecedented accuracy are forecasting an unusually active season this year. View More (2010-06-02)
USC study: Internet outages in the US doubled during Hurricane Sandy
USC scientists who track Internet outages throughout the world noted a spike in outages due to Hurricane Sandy, with almost twice as much of the Internet down in the U.S. as usual. View More (2012-12-19)
NASA sees a hot tower in first tropical depression of the eastern Pacific
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite called TRMM has the ability to see rainfall rates and heights of thunderstorm clouds within a tropical cyclone, and data from the satellite confirmed a "hot tower" near the center of the first tropical depression of the eastern Pacific Hurricane Season.

NASA infrared imagery sees tropical depression 14 becomes 12th tropical storm: Lisa
This Atlantic hurricane season has now spawned 14 tropical depressions and 12 of them have strengthened into tropical storms. View More (2010-09-22)
Tagged turtles in the eye of the storm?
A NERC-funded researcher is tracking a number of migrating marine turtles which could be sent off-course or washed ashore by Hurricane Isabel. Updates on the turtles' progress can be followed on the web. Dr Brendan Godley and colleagues from the University of Exeter are using satellite technology to track the endangered green and loggerhead turtles as they leave their nesting beaches in North...

Scientists derive bottom-up air-sea momentum transfer under major hurricane
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory-Stennis Space Center (NRL-SSC) have directly derived the air-sea momentum exchange at the ocean interface using observed ocean currents under Hurricane Ivan and determined that it decreases when winds exceed 32 meters per second. View More (2007-03-29)
Seismic Noise Unearths Lost Hurricanes
Seismologists have found a new way to piece together the history of hurricanes in the North Atlantic - by looking back through records of the planet's seismic noise. It's an entirely new way to tap into the rich trove of seismic records, and the strategy might help establish a link between global warming and the frequency or intensity of hurricanes.

Why would a struggling community shun corporate gifts? A study of Hurricane Katrina and Mardi Gras
Gifts and support from people of different social positions strengthen communities, especially in hard times, according to a new study of post-Katrina New Orleans in the Journal of Consumer Research. View More (2012-01-18)
