Geoengineering could slow down the global water cycle
As fossil fuel emissions continue to climb, reducing the amount of sunlight hitting the Earth would definitely have a cooling effect on surface temperatures.   view more (2008-05-28)

Lund University part of EU project on global land destruction
The EU is now entering an agreement with Lund University regarding research into the desertification. The background is that 40 research organizations from 16 countries recently gathered in Madrid to launch an EU project (DeSurvey) about land degradation and desertification in Europe, Africa, Asia,... view more (2005-04-14)

Miniature Pyramids
The production and characterisation of semiconductor nanostructures Vienna (Austrian Science Fund) - Electronic components, such as transistors on computer chips, are increasingly becoming smaller, while their performance capabilities are growing. It is expected that the dimensions of such... view more (2001-09-27)

New ORNL theory aims to explain recent temperature, climate extremes
Using an ocean of data, sophisticated mathematical models and supercomputing resources, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are putting climate models to the test with particular focus on weather extremes.   view more (2007-06-13)

Crops feel the heat as the world warms
Over a span of two decades, warming temperatures have caused annual losses of roughly $5 billion for major food crops, according to a new study by researchers at the Carnegie Institution and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.   view more (2007-03-16)

The power of two: Envisat demonstrates combined imagery from dual sensors
The simultaneous observation of the Italian coast by two instruments onboard the European Space Agency's Envisat satellite provides a striking illustration of the unique potential of combining sensor data for a better understanding of complex Earth processes. Envisat's Advanced Synthetic Aperture... view more (2002-11-04)

Scientists: As rainfall changes, tropical plants may acclimate
Tropical plants may be more adaptable than commonly thought to changing rainfall patterns expected to accompany a warming climate, new research shows.   view more (2007-05-08)

Storing carbon to combat global warming may cause other environmental problems, study suggests
Growing tree plantations to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to mitigate global warming - so called "carbon sequestration" - could trigger environmental changes that outweigh some of the benefits, a multi-institutional team led by Duke University suggested in a new report.   view more (2005-12-23)
