U.S. Forest Service scientists believe an Oregon State University graduate student working on a cooperative project with the agency's Pacific Southwest Research station on the Tahoe National Forest has photographed a wolverine, an animal whose presence has not been confirmed in California since the 1920s. view more (2008-03-10)
High degree of resistance to antibiotics in Arctic birds
In the latest issue of the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, Swedish researchers report that birds captured in the hyperboreal tundra, in connection with the tundra expedition "Beringia 2005," were carriers of antibiotics-resistant bacteria. view more (2008-01-14)
Rising CO2 signals wetter storms for Northern Hemisphere, says CU-Boulder study
While two new studies by researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder's Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences predict wetter storms for the Arctic and for the Northern Hemisphere because of global warming, whether or not this means more net precipitation depends on the latitude. view more (2007-12-12)
'Shopping on Ecstasy': everyday memory loss associated with persistent ecstasy use
Persistent use of ecstasy leads to a loss of everyday memory, researchers from Northumbria University have discovered. For the study 23 regular users of ecstasy were compared to 30 people who had never used the drug. view more (2005-05-06)
Air pollution from ships - a serious threat
Emissions from ships may bring as much nitrogen oxide to the atmosphere as the total amount of emissions coming from the USA. International shipping along the Norwegian coast and in the Northern Atlantic Ocean contributes largely to the formation of ground-level ozone and acidification of the shores. Air pollution from ships may be twice as bad as... view more... (2004-03-30)
URI researcher sheds light on 'man-eating' squid; finds them timid, non-threatening
News reports last week about scuba divers off San Diego being menaced by large numbers of Humboldt's or jumbo squid have raised the ire of University of Rhode Island biologist Brad Seibel. view more (2009-07-24)
Imaging The Invisible: A New Look At Space Weather
How is it possible to image tiny particles that are normally invisible? What happens to our planet and its surroundings when huge solar storms collide with Earth's magnetic shield? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed this week during the UK/Ireland National Astronomy Meeting in Dublin. Our Earth is continually buffeted by a... view more... (2003-03-31)
U of Minnesota researchers uncover surprising effects of climate patterns in ancient China
University of Minnesota geology and geophysics researchers, along with their colleagues from China, have uncovered surprising effects of climate patterns on social upheaval and the fall of dynasties in ancient China. view more (2008-11-10)
Plants could override climate change effects on wildfires
Scientists predict that global climate change will make many regions around the world warmer and drier, a factor which, taken by itself, would seem to increase the risk of wildfires. view more (2009-04-23)
'No Competitive Edge' from Internet Banking - UU Research
Research conducted by University of Ulster financial services researcher Mark Durkin into the uptake of Internet-based banking has found that banks are embracing the innovation in order not to be put at a competitive disadvantage - rather than for any sustainable competitive advantage Internet banking might provide in its own right. The research... view more... (2002-10-02)
Northern forests less effective than tropical forests in reducing global warming
Forests in the United States and other northern mid- and upper-latitude regions are playing a smaller role in offsetting global warming than previously thought, according to a study appearing in this week's issue of Science. view more (2007-06-25)
Long-term study shows effect of climate change on animal diversity
Two species of giraffe, several rhinos and five elephant relatives, along with multitudes of rodents, bush pigs, horses, antelope and apes, once inhabited what is now northern Pakistan. view more (2008-09-23)
Jade sheds light on Guatemala's geologic history
A new analysis of jade found along the Motagua fault that bisects Guatemala is underscoring the fact that this region has a more complex geologic history than previously thought. view more (2009-07-28)
Historic volcanic eruption shrunk the mighty Nile River
Volcanic eruptions in high latitudes can greatly alter climate and distant river flows, including the Nile, according to a recent study funded in part by NASA. view more (2006-11-22)
New study finds that some plants can adapt to widespread climate change
While many plant species move to a new location or go extinct as a result of climate change, grasslands clinging to a steep, rocky dale-side in Northern England seem to defy the odds and adapt to long-term changes in temperature and rainfall. view more (2008-07-09)
The tropics play a more active role than was thought in controlling the Earth's climate
Researchers from the Universitat Aut√≤noma de Barcelona and Durham University (UK) have discovered that a million years ago, global climate changes occurred due to changes in tropical circulation in the Pacific similar to those caused by El Ni√ħo today. view more (2005-10-12)
Burning wetlands unleash sequestered mercury in wake of climate change
Climate change appears to be contributing to the waking of a dangerous sleeping giant in the most northern wetlands of North America - mercury. view more (2006-08-22)
