Polar clouds take a 'bite' out of meteoric iron
Polar clouds are known to play a major role in the destruction of Earth's protective ozone layer, creating the springtime 'ozone hole' above Antarctica. Now, scientists have found that polar clouds also play a significant role in removing meteoric iron from Earth's atmosphere. Polar clouds have been widely studied in recent years, because of their... view more... (2004-04-14)
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)

IS THE AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IN CLINICAL MEDICINE RESEARCH DECLINING? A CITATION ANALYSIS
Citation analysis is a powerful measurement of the scientific impact of medical papers. All papers which were published in journals of general and internal medicine (such as the Lancet or the New England Journal of Medicine), the citations which attracted and their impact (citations divided by number of papers) were analyzed according to country... view more...

Delft Architectural Engineer Combines Economics and Environment: Building with Double Profit
Researcher Tim de Jonge, of TU Delft, has developed a model to calculate the environmental impact of all kinds of building projects easily and accurately. The model can show whether or not a design change, aimed at the reduction of the environmental impact of the design, is worthwhile. Tim de Jonge will defend his PhD thesis on this subject on 28... view more... (2005-02-24)

Reactor of the future destroys nuclear waste--KTH to head major EU project to cut storage times dramatically
A power plant that generates energy from used nuclear waste and destroys it as well. Could this become a reality? A three-year research project involving 23 European partners coordinated by KTH is being launched to investigate the matter. In the last few years great strides have been taken in research into so-called transmutation (see footnote)... view more... (2004-03-18)

UAF geologist studies Chicxulub impact crater
About 65 million years ago, a massive disruption led to worldwide extinction of dinosaurs. The impact of a giant asteroid created massive tsunamis and spewed forth a global cloud of carbon gases that altered Earth's atmosphere and blocked the light for weeks, possibly years. In recent years, that impact event has been linked to a 112-mile-wide... view more... (2007-01-19)
