Environmental lessons from tsunami as world's coastal population doubles
Coastal populations and ecosystems are more likely to bounce back from extreme coastal disasters by protecting local environments and building on local knowledge, according to a report published in Science. view more (2005-08-12)
NASA sees into the eye of a monster storm on Saturn
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has seen something never before seen on another planet - a hurricane-like storm at Saturn's south pole with a well-developed eye, ringed by towering clouds. view more (2006-11-10)
Ocean spray lubricates hurricane winds
Hurricane Emily's 140-mile-per-hour winds, which last week blew roofs off hotels and flattened trees throughout the Caribbean, owed their force to an unlikely culprit - ocean spray. view more (2005-07-26)
Research finds evidence tropical cyclones have climate-control role
Purdue University researchers have found evidence that tropical cyclones and hurricanes play an important role in the ocean circulation patterns that transport heat and maintain the climate of North America and Europe. view more (2007-06-01)
Study finds fecal microbes high in New Orleans sediments following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
In a new study documenting the microbial landscape of New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, scientists report that sediments in interior portions of the city appear to be contaminated with fecal microbes view more (2007-05-04)
LSU professor uncovers prehistoric hurricane activity
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita focused the international spotlight on the vulnerability of the U.S. coastline. Fears that a "super-hurricane" could make a direct hit on a major city and cause even more staggering losses of life, land and economy triggered an outpouring of studies directed at every facet of this ferocious weather phenomenon. view more (2007-03-21)
NJIT architect professor advocates best-building practices for high wind regions
More than ever before, building design and construction can be significantly improved to reduce wind pressures on building surfaces and to help better resist high winds and hurricanes in residential or commercial construction, said NJIT architecture professor Rima Taher, PhD. view more (2008-07-10)
Hurricanes, other vortices seize energy via 'hostile takeovers'
For decades, scientists who study hurricanes, whirlpools and other large fluid vortices have puzzled over precisely how these vast swirling masses of gas or liquid sustain themselves. view more (2006-03-07)
Did dust bust the 2006 hurricane season forecasts?
A recent NASA study suggests that tiny dust particles may have foiled forecasts that the 2006 hurricane season would be another active one. view more (2007-03-29)
Hazard mitigation can save money
An ounce of prevention may actually be worth a pound of cure, especially if the actions taken are to reduce losses from natural hazards, such as tornados, hurricanes or flooding, according to a Penn State researcher. view more (2006-01-23)
In the turf war against seaweed, coral reefs more resilient than expected
There's little doubt that coral reefs the world over face threats on many fronts: pollution, diseases, destructive fishing practices and warming oceans. view more (2009-06-02)
Climate change responsible for increased hurricanes
Human induced climate change, rather than naturally occurring ocean cycles, may be responsible for the recent increases in frequency and strength of North Atlantic hurricanes. view more (2006-05-31)
Caribbean corals decline 80% in 25 years
Coral reefs across the Caribbean have suffered a phenomenal 80% decline in their coral cover during the past three decades, reveals new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, published this week in the international online journal Science Express. The amount of reef covered by hard... view more... (2003-07-17)
NASA's Advanced Technology Peers Deep Inside Hurricanes
Determined to understand why some storms grow into hurricanes while others fizzle, NASA scientists recently looked deep into thunderstorms off the African coast using satellites and airplanes. view more (2007-03-07)
NASA'S live tropical sea surface temperature Web site gives climate, hurricane clues
Sea surface temperatures give scientists information about ocean currents, climate, climate change and how a hurricane may evolve. Now, NASA has a web page that provides frequent updates on changing ocean temperatures. view more (2006-10-13)
New research in Chesapeake Bay, Pamlico Sound shows hurricanes, runoff tax water quality management efforts
A scientific study that involved analyzing phytoplankton in both North Carolina's Neuse River Estuary/Pamlico Sound and Maryland and Virginia's Chesapeake Bay offers a new lesson in light of recent increased hurricane activity along the East Coast, researchers say. view more (2005-12-23)
Hurricane Dean tracked from space
ESA satellites are tracking the path of Hurricane Dean as it rips across the Caribbean Sea carrying winds as high as 260 km/h. The hurricane, which has already claimed eight lives, is forecast to slam into Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Tuesday morning. view more (2007-08-22)
Emergency response
Disasters are getting worse it seems but the federal government's preparedness has been limited to helping after a disaster has occurred. view more (2007-11-12)
Researchers conduct training in disaster mental health
Researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center today announced that they have received the final portion of a $610,000 grant to train mental health professionals and spiritual advisors (e.g. clergy) in how to counsel victims of natural disasters and terrorist attacks. view more (2006-06-01)
NASA Researchers Studying Tropical Cyclones
NASA hurricane researchers are deploying to Costa Rica next month to investigate the birthplace of eastern Pacific tropical cyclones. They will be searching for clues that could lead to a greater understanding and better predictability of one of the world's most significant weather events - the hurricane. view more (2005-06-24)
