Discovery of a unique symbiosis between bacteria and a marine worm
Dr. Nicole Dubilier, a scientist in the Molecular Ecology research group of Dr. Rudolf Amann at the Max Planck Institute of Marine Microbiology in Bremen, and her colleagues have discovered a unique symbiosis between bacteria and a marine worm, described in the journal Nature, issue May 17th 2001.... view more (2001-05-17)

North Atlantic slows on the uptake of CO2
Further evidence for the decline of the oceans' historical role as an important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide is supplied by new research by environmental scientists from the University of East Anglia.   view more (2007-10-23)

1600 Eruption Caused Global Disruption
The 1600 eruption of Huaynaputina in Peru had a global impact on human society, according to a new study of contemporary records by geologists at UC Davis.   view more (2008-04-24)

Climate change could impact vital functions of microbes
Global climate change will not only impact plants and animals but will also affect bacteria, fungi and other microbial populations that perform a myriad of functions important to life on earth.   view more (2008-06-03)

Detox cure for art treasure
Many museums and churches own pieces of art which were treated with toxic pesticides in the past. Between the 1940’s and 80’s, it was quite usual to protect wood against insects and microorganisms with PCP (pentachlorophenol), DDT and lindane. Though the adverse effect was only... view more (2002-09-09)

Learning to trade in carbon dioxide
"You have to be well prepared to enter the emissions trading arena. Otherwise you'll run the same financial risks as on a conventional stock exchange," declares Franzjosef Schafhausen of the German ministry for the environment, who heads the working group on the national climate change... view more (2003-12-01)

Hungry microbes share out the carbon in the roots of plants
Sugars made by plants are rapidly used by microbes living in their roots, according to new research at the University of York, creating a short cut in the carbon cycle that is vital to life on earth.   view more (2007-10-19)

RAND study: Alternative fossil fuels have economic potential
Alternative sources of fossil fuels such as oil sands and coal-to-liquids have significant economic promise, but the environmental consequences must also be considered, according to a RAND Corporation study issued today.   view more (2008-10-08)

Climate protocol may save Amazon region
If Brazil gets a climate protocol, like the Kyoto Protocol for the rich countries, it will be possible to create an incentive for the country to reduce the deforestation of the Amazon region. The Kyoto Protocol targets a reduction of emissions of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases. In a new... view more (2004-05-28)

Increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere linked to decreased soil organic matter
A recent study at the University of Illinois created a bit of a mystery for soil scientist Michelle Wander - increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was expected to increase plant growth, increase plant biomass and ultimately beef up the organic matter in the soil -- but it didn't.   view more (2008-03-12)

New materials can selectively capture carbon dioxide, UCLA chemists report
UCLA chemists report a major advance in reducing heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions in the Feb. 15 issue of the journal Science.   view more (2008-02-15)

Study Finds Plenty of Carbon Dioxide Storage Capacity Underground in Kentucky
As concern has grown over the effects of the human release of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into the atmosphere, so too has research into technologies to manage CO2.   view more (2006-10-09)

Titanium dioxide — It slices, it dices ...
Chemists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Arizona State University have proposed an elegantly simple technique for cleaving proteins into convenient pieces for analysis.   view more (2007-04-02)

NASA study illustrates how global peak oil could impact climate
The burning of fossil fuels -- notably coal, oil and gas -- has accounted for about 80 percent of the rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide since the pre-industrial era. Now, NASA researchers have identified feasible emission scenarios that could keep carbon dioxide below levels that some scientists... view more (2008-09-11)

Planet-sized solutions for global warming: International experts evaluate the options
Big ideas for reducing the impacts of climate change are being evaluated by an international line-up of leading scientists from the US, mainland Europe and the UK at a symposium in Cambridge this week. The scientists are coming together to evaluate which large-scale bio-engineering, geo-engineering... view more (2004-01-05)

Southern Ocean could slow global warming
The Southern Ocean may slow the rate of global warming by absorbing significantly more heat and carbon dioxide than previously thought, according to new research.   view more (2006-12-06)

Sinking Greenhouse Gases into the Ocean
"Polarstern" begins new iron fertilization experiment On January 21, 2004, the "Polarstern", research vessel of the Alfred-Wegener-Institute of Polar and Marine Research, will leave Cape Town for the third stage of the 21st expedition to Antarctica. Forty-nine scientists from nine countries... view more (2004-01-21)

Bacteria design new plastic
A recently discovered group of chemicals could pave the way to better plastics for surgical implants that are more compatible to the human body and less likely to become infected by disease-causing microbes. A paper published in the January issue of Microbiology describes the unusual properties of... view more (2001-01-19)

Venus mission will hold surprises says U. of Colorado planetary scientist
University of Colorado at Boulder planetary scientist Larry Esposito, a member of the European Space Agency's Venus Express science team, believes the upcoming mission to Earth's "evil twin" planet should be full of surprises.   view more (2005-11-03)

New material brings hydrogen fuel, cheaper petrochemicals closer to reality
A rubbery material that can purify hydrogen efficiently in its most usable form for fuel cells and oil refining has been developed by a chemical engineering group at The University of Texas at Austin.   view more (2006-02-03)

UN body asks Lund Researchers to investigate new type of carbon sink
Trade in emission rights is intended to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases. Countries with natural carbon sinks—areas that absorb more carbon dioxide than they give off—can ‘trade off’ that resource in return for their commitments to reduce emissions. Thus far this... view more (2001-11-09)

Greenhouse gas/temperature feedback mechanism may raise warming beyond previous estimates
A team of European scientists reports that climate change estimates for the next century may have substantially underestimated the potential magnitude of global warming.   view more (2006-05-22)

Cold storage solution for global warming?
Researchers from the University of Leicester and the British Geological Society (BGS) have proposed storing CO2 in huge underground reservoirs as a way of reducing emissions- and have even identified sites in Western Europe that would be suitable.   view more (2007-02-07)

Carbon emissions trading in Europe: Lessons to be learned
For the past three years, the European Union has been operating the world's largest emissions trading system and the first system to limit and to trade carbon dioxide emissions.   view more (2008-06-11)

LSU, Yale team study agricultural impact on Mississippi River
According to a study published in "Nature" by researchers at LSU and Yale University, farming has significantly changed the hydrology and chemistry of the Mississippi River, injecting more carbon dioxide into the river and raising river discharge during the past 50 years.   view more (2008-01-24)
