'Trapped wave' caused unexpected Dennis surge, scientists say FSU
When Hurricane Dennis passed North Florida on July 10, 2005, it caused a 10-foot storm surge in some areas along Apalachee Bay - about 3 to 4 feet more than forecasted- that couldn't be explained only by the local winds that conventionally drive storm surge.   view more (2006-10-10)

Wetlands Restoration Not a Panacea for Louisiana Coast
Counting on wetlands restoration projects to protect storm buffeted infrastructure along the Louisiana Coast is likely to be a "losing battle" that provides "false hope" and prevents endangered communities from clearly planning for their future, says a researcher from Western... view more (2008-09-29)

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... view more (2007-04-12)

New studies find global warming will have significant economic impacts on Florida coasts
Leading Florida-based scientific researchers released two new studies today, including a Florida State University report finding that climate change will cause significant impacts on Florida's coastlines and economy due to increased sea level rise.   view more (2008-09-25)

Flood-alert system eased fears at Texas Medical Center
The Texas Medical Center (TMC) was close to flooding during and after Hurricane Ike, but a long-term collaboration with Rice University paid off by calming fears of the kind of deluge that caused extensive damage during Tropical Storm Allison in 2001.   view more (2008-09-29)

Cassini cameras spot powerful new lightning storm on Saturn
Following the recent detection of Saturnian radio bursts by NASA's Cassini spacecraft that indicated a rare and powerful atmospheric storm, Cassini imaging scientists have spotted the storm in an unlikely fashion: they looked for it in the dark.   view more (2006-02-15)

Chance discovery: Alaska Range glacier surges
There is evidence that the McGinnis Glacier, a little-known tongue of ice in the central Alaska Range, has surged.   view more (2006-03-16)

UF geographer: New tools to forecast hurricane rainfall inland
All eyes are on where hurricanes make landfall, but the massive storms actually cause the most deaths inland, where severe flooding often surprises residents.   view more (2007-06-20)

More women than men having mid-life stroke
More women than men appear to be having a stroke in middle age. Researchers say heart disease and increased waist size may be contributing to this apparent mid-life stroke surge among women.   view more (2007-06-21)

UW-Madison tools help track Hurricane Ophelia
As Hurricane Ophelia is set to make landfall on the North Carolina coast on Wednesday or Thursday (Sept. 14 or 15), analysis techniques developed by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Tropical Cyclones group in the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies are... view more (2005-09-14)

Picky eating potentially perilous for bats
Working in the Department of Ecology and Organismal Biology, Justin Boyles and Jonathan Storm examined the possibility of a link between dietary specialization and the risk of extinction for bats in Australia, Europe and North America.   view more (2007-07-25)

Scientists derive bottom-up air-sea momentum transfer under major hurricane
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory-Stennis Space Center (NRL-SSC) have directly derived the air-sea momentum exchange at the ocean interface using observed ocean currents under Hurricane Ivan and determined that it decreases when winds exceed 32 meters per second.   view more (2007-03-29)

Forecasting Heart Storms
The requirements of man to the weather forecast are changing before our eyes. Before, a temperature, precipitation and wind forecast could do, while now man want to know the condition of the electromagnetic field of the Earth in a month ahead, desirably. Those, who suffer from heart diseases, are... view more (2002-04-02)

NASA Looks Back at Hurricane Katrina One Year Later
The 2005 hurricane season will long be remembered both for the record-breaking number of storms and a devastating hurricane named Katrina.   view more (2006-08-28)

Networking web service launched for November research conference
The European Commission has launched a web service to enable those attending the launch of the Sixth Framework programme (FP6) in Brussels on 11 November to establish contacts, register interests and arrange meetings before arriving.... view more (2002-09-11)

NASA diagnoses Tropical Storm Gert's growth spurt
Scientists want to know how a tropical cyclone develops from a weak tropical depression into a tropical storm. To answer that question, NASA and other scientists flew over and through storms in 2005 and obtained and combined data that let them see the storm in four dimensions.   view more (2006-12-12)

Small, unmanned aircraft search for survivors
Providing the benefits of speed, portability and access, a pair of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) surveyed storm-damaged communities in Miss. as part of the search for trapped survivors of Hurricane Katrina.   view more (2005-09-15)

Magnetic Storms And Earthquakes
For years scientists have been studying the impact of different geophysical fields on the earthquakes occurrence. It has been assumed that the fields, generated due to the solar activity, earth flows fluctuations, the Earth`s speed of rotation and even the launch of magnetohydrodynamic generators... view more (2002-03-21)

Drier, warmer springs in US Southwest stem from human-caused changes in winds
Human-driven changes in the westerly winds are bringing hotter and drier springs to the American Southwest, according to new research from The University of Arizona in Tucson.   view more (2008-08-19)

Arizona State scientists keep an eye on Martian dust storm
Scientists at Arizona State University's Mars Space Flight Center are using the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) on NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter to monitor a large dust storm on the Red Planet.   view more (2007-07-12)

Winds of Change May Influence Insurance and Forestry in Industries
The impacts of extreme events, such as windstorms, on the insurance and forestry industries is to be investigated in a new Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research project, which also aims to shed light on the likely occurrence of future high winds due to global warming. Windstorms have important... view more (2001-02-01)

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)

Flying into the eye of the storm
While most of us watched this summer's violent and destructive storms on TV from the comfort of our sofas, a team of researchers from across the UK, including University of Leeds scientists Alan Blyth, Barbara Brooks and Lindsay Bennett, took to the skies in specially equipped planes to study their... view more (2004-09-29)

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)

Seeing the eye: Weather model advances hurricane intensity prediction
An advanced research weather model run by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is following Hurricane Rita to give scientists a taste of how well forecast models of the future may predict hurricane track, intensity, and important rain and wind features.   view more (2005-09-22)
