Rice report shows lessons from Hurricane Rita not practiced during Ike
A new Rice University report released yesterday, exactly six months after Hurricane Ike slammed the Texas Gulf Coast, suggests that people did not practice the lessons learned from Hurricane Rita. view more (2009-03-13)
NASA satellite sees Hurricane Jimena explode in strength over 4 days
Hurricane Warnings are up for the southern Baja California, as powerful Category Four Hurricane Jimena threatens. Jimena developed over the weekend, and the infrared instrument on NASA's Aqua satellite captured that explosive development. view more (2009-08-31)
Levee modeling study to provide technical data for rebuilding New Orleans
To provide essential data for the rebuilding of the ravaged levees in New Orleans, engineers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will be studying small-scale models of sections of the flood-protection system. view more (2006-02-22)
Study of coastal disasters yields surprising findings, arresting images
Two of the world's worst natural disasters in recent years stemmed from different causes on opposite sides of the globe, but actually had much in common, according to researchers who are part of a large National Science Foundation-funded research initiative that has been studying both the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004 and the Hurricane Katrina of... view more...

Breakthrough in forecasting US hurricane activity by UCL scientists
The strength of hurricane activity striking the United States during the main hurricane season can now be predicted with significant accuracy thanks to a new computer model developed by scientists at University College London (UCL). view more (2005-04-18)
A change in the wind
Climate model simulations for the 21st century indicate a robust increase in wind shear in the tropical Atlantic due to global warming, which may inhibit hurricane development and intensification. view more (2007-04-18)
The cooperative view: New evidence suggests a symbiogenetic origin for the centrosome
There are two ways in which cooperation is the theme of a paper published this week by Mark Alliegro and Mary Anne Alliegro, scientists at the Marine Biological Laboratory's (MBL) Josephine Bay Paul Center. view more (2008-05-07)
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. view more (2007-09-07)
Ozone levels drop when hurricanes are strengthening
Scientists are continually exploring different aspects of hurricanes to increase the understanding of how they behave. Recently, NASA-funded scientists from Florida State University looked at ozone around hurricanes and found that ozone levels drop as a hurricane is intensifying. view more (2005-06-08)
NCAR climate expert: Hurricanes to intensify as Earth warms
Warmer oceans, more moisture in the atmosphere, and other factors suggest that human-induced climate change will increase hurricane intensity and rainfall, according to climate expert Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. view more (2005-06-16)
Envisat`s MERIS captures image of Hurricane Elida
The Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) onboard ESA`s Envisat environmental satellite captured this dramatic image of Hurricane Elida off the west coast of Mexico on 25 July 2002. view more (2002-07-30)
Believe it or not, more rain would benefit New Orleans, ecologist says
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina - probably the greatest natural disaster in U.S. history - a leading ecologist says that one of the best things that could happen to New Orleans and the rest of southern Louisiana and Mississippi would be more rain. view more (2005-09-19)
It's a Boy? Tropical Depression 18-E Forms in the Eastern North Pacific
At 11 a.m. EDT on October first, the eighteenth tropical depression of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season was born. view more (2009-10-02)
Hurricane Jimena Lashing Southern Baja California
NASA's fleet of earth-observing satellites continue to provide valuable data to the National Hurricane Center on the inner workings of Hurricane Jimena as she drops copious amounts of rain and generates dangerous surf along the Baja today. view more (2009-09-02)
Hurricane Felicia eyeing Hawaii while weakening on weekend
NASA satellite imagery has helped forecasters see that Hurricane Felicia is running into cooler waters and increasing wind shear, two things have taken her strength "down a peg or two." view more (2009-08-10)
LSU researchers publish commentary on delta preservation with coastal science experts
The Mississippi River delta region is of huge economic importance to the nation. As a "working coast," much of the South's major industries - particularly seafood and petroleum - are largely dependent on the health of the delta and its surrounding areas. After the 2005 hurricane season, however, experts are voicing growing concerns over... view more... (2007-03-23)
NASA's Aqua Satellite Gets Two Views of Category Four Hurricane Bill
Hurricane Bill has become a powerhouse in the Atlantic Ocean and NASA satellites are providing forecasters with important information to help their forecasts. Bill is now a category four hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale and is expected to strengthen as it nears Bermuda, and NASA's Aqua satellite captured two views of his cloud cover. view more (2009-08-19)
New Technique Provides 3-D View of Approaching Hurricanes
Forecasters will test a new technique this summer that provides a detailed 3-D view of an approaching hurricane every six minutes and allows them to determine whether the storm is gathering strength as it nears land. view more (2007-05-18)
Hurricane Katrina: Phone Home
Though New Orleans residents were told to evacuate days before the arrival of Hurricane Katrina, no one could have predicted the real extent of the devastation. view more (2009-07-07)
