In new study, ancient and modern evidence suggests limits to future global warming
Instrumental readings made during the past century offer ample evidence that carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere are warming Earth's climate, a team led by Duke University scientists has reported.   view more (2006-04-20)

Plants' role in global warming re-examined in ORNL Science paper
Estimates of increased plant respiration in response to higher global temperatures may be somewhat overstated as they have not taken into account plants' ability to adjust to changing conditions, according to researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory.   view more (2006-05-02)

Nottingham centre to help UK to meet its carbon targets
Cutting-edge technology that 'captures' polluting carbon dioxide and stores it permanently inside rocks will be developed at a new £1.1m research centre at The University of Nottingham.   view more (2007-07-30)

Evidence from Hawaiian volcanoes shows that Earth recycles its crust
A geologist at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has come up with evidence our planet practices recycling on a grand scale.   view more (2006-11-30)

Modeling of long-term fossil fuel consumption shows 14.5 degree hike in temperature
If humans continue to use fossil fuels in a business as usual manner for the next several centuries, the polar ice caps will be depleted, ocean sea levels will rise by seven meters and median air temperatures will soar 14.5 degrees warmer than current day.   view more (2005-11-02)

How the atmospheres of Mars and Venus are affected by carbon monoxide
Modelling of the Earth's atmosphere has acquired economic importance due to its use in the prediction of ozone depletion and in measuring the impact of global warming.   view more (2008-02-26)

Can fruit flies help treat stroke and transplant patients?
Reperfusion injury takes place when an animal or an organ is starved of oxygen, then exposed to oxygen again. This occurs in strokes and organ transplants and causes many deaths per year.   view more (2007-12-05)

Adapting agricultural practices to reduce the greenhouse effect
More than one-third of the greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere stem from agriculture and forestry. One of the current concerns is to find ways of managing agriculture differently in order to increase the level of carbon storage in soils and limit emission of gases that contribute to global... view more (2004-11-23)

Antarctic expedition provides new insights into the role of the Southern Ocean for global climate
In the Southern Ocean, large quantities of surface-drifting plankton algae are able to significantly reduce the carbon dioxide content of the surface waters, which can affect the global carbon dioxide cycle.   view more (2008-02-06)

Major international study warns global warming is destroying coral reefs and calls for 'drastic actions'
If world leaders do not immediately engage in a race against time to save the Earth's coral reefs, these vital ecosystems will not survive the global warming and acidification predicted for later this century. That is the conclusion of a group of marine scientists from around the world in a major... view more (2007-12-26)

NASA study finds rising Arctic storm activity sways sea ice, climate
A new NASA study shows that the rising frequency and intensity of arctic storms over the last half century, attributed to progressively warmer waters, directly provoked acceleration of the rate of arctic sea ice drift, long considered by scientists as a bellwether of climate change.   view more (2008-10-07)

A biological technique could save up to 2 million euros at sewage treatment plants
A new method for treating the smell of rotten eggs emitted by sewage plants, developed in conjunction by a researcher at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona's Engineering School (ETSE) and a researcher from the University of California, could lead to worldwide savings of two million euros... view more (2003-07-15)

EU smart construction materials absorb and wash away pollution
A European consortium of private enterprises, research institutions and the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) is running a test programme for innovative construction materials set to help in the fight against air pollution. The "smart" construction materials (plaster,... view more (2004-03-04)

Researchers to Scrutinize Megacity Pollution During Mexico City Field Campaign
A team of researchers from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and other institutions is heading to Mexico City to participate in one of the most complex field campaigns ever undertaken in atmospheric chemistry.   view more (2006-03-03)

European lead in reading past climates from ice cores
Climate change is a reality today, but how can we find out about the future dangers it poses" What we really need is a full record of the Earth's climate for several hundred thousand years, complete with samples of air from different epochs that can be taken to the lab for analysis.   view more (2007-10-12)

Is our heritage no longer crumbling? Weathering rates of St. Paul’s Cathedral London have halved in the last ten years in line with cleaner air.
SUMMARY:  Measurements of the rates of weathering on St. Paul’s Cathedral, London have halved in the last ten years (1990 - 2000) as compared with the previous ten years (1980 - 1990).  Yearly averages of sulphur dioxide concentrations in the air decreased from around 25... view more (2000-08-30)

UCF Nanoparticle Offers Promise for Treating Glaucoma
A unique nanoparticle made in a laboratory at the University of Central Florida is proving promising as a drug delivery device for treating glaucoma, an eye disease that can cause blindness and affects millions of people worldwide.   view more (2007-06-19)

ESA contributes to ocean carbon cycle research
The Earth's oceans play a vital role in the carbon cycle, making it imperative that we understand marine biological activity enough to predict how our planet will react to the extra 25 000 million tonnes of carbon dioxide humans are pumping into the atmosphere annually.   view more (2008-05-06)

New process makes diesel fuel and industrial chemicals from simple sugar
The soaring prices of oil and natural gas have sparked a race to make transportation fuels from plant matter instead of petroleum. Both biodiesel and gasoline containing ethanol are starting to make an impact on the market.   view more (2006-06-30)

Ocean's 'twilight zone' plays important role in climate change
A major study has shed new light on the dim layer of the ocean called the "twilight zone"—where mysterious processes affect the ocean's ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide accumulating in our atmosphere.   view more (2007-04-27)

Electronic tongue as oil tester
In the early days of mass motoring, in the 1950s, a car became due for inspection and oil change roughly every 3,000 kilometers. Since then, improvements to car engines and oils have lengthened this interval to around 30,000 kilometers, and it is likely to increase still further: to three times... view more (2003-05-22)

Bonn scientists discover new hemoglobin type

Food Scientists Confirm the Effectiveness of Commercial Product in Killing Bacteria in Vegetable Washwater
Research conducted by food science faculty at the University of Idaho and Washington State University indicate that a commercially available fruit and vegetable wash, when used in a food-manufacturing setting, can dramatically decrease the number of disease-causing organisms in produce-processing... view more (2008-06-26)

Sun's direct role in global warming may be underestimated, Duke physicists report
At least 10 to 30 percent of global warming measured during the past two decades may be due to increased solar output rather than factors such as increased heat-absorbing carbon dioxide gas released by various human activities.   view more (2005-10-03)
