Temperate Forests Could Worsen Global Warming
Growing a forest might sound like a good idea to combat global warming, since trees draw carbon dioxide from the air and release cool water from their leaves.   view more (2005-12-07)

Reining in Carbon Dioxide Levels Imperative but Possible
Implementing a plan to keep rising carbon dioxide levels from reaching potentially dangerous levels could cost less than 1 percent of gross world product as of 2050, a cost that is well within reach of developed and developing nations alike.   view more (2006-03-09)

NASA co-sponsors ocean voyage to probe climate-relevant gases
More than 30 scientists will embark next week on a research mission to the Southern Ocean. Researchers will battle the elements to study how gases important to climate change move between the atmosphere and the ocean under high winds and seas.   view more (2008-02-22)

IGBP calls for better observation of Earth's "Achilles' heels"
Monitoring the most sensitive "hotspots" of the Earth is an important way of assessing the health of our planet and predicting our future, said IGBP (International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme) scientists speaking at the Earth Observation Summit in Washington last week. The summit was... view more (2003-08-06)

Ocean's 'twilight zone' may be a key to understanding climate change
A major study sheds new light on the role of carbon dioxide once it's transported to the oceans' depths. The research indicates that instead of sinking, carbon dioxide is often consumed by animals and bacteria and recycled in the "twilight zone," a dimly lit area 100 to 1,000 meters below... view more (2007-04-30)

Experiment suggests limitations to carbon dioxide 'tree banking'
While 10 years of bathing North Carolina pine tree stands with extra carbon dioxide did allow the trees to grow more tissue, only those pines receiving the most water and nutrients were able to store significant amounts of carbon that could offset the effects of global warming, scientists told a... view more (2007-08-07)

CO2 emissions booming, shifting east, researchers report
Despite widespread concern about climate change, annual carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels and manufacturing cement have grown 38 percent since 1992, from 6.1 billion tons of carbon to 8.5 billion tons in 2007.   view more (2008-09-25)

Environmental protection - using mine gas
The gigantic system of tunnels created by the extensive mining of coal beneath the Ruhr area in recent centuries not only leads to subsidence (as in the dramatic incident in Wattenscheid early this year). At certain times and in particular locations, up to 1000 cubic meters of mine gas per hour can... view more (2000-03-09)

Satellite sniffs out chemical traces of atmospheric pollution
The recent Hague talks on global warming focused attention on the so-called greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. But these gases are only a part of the story. Mankind generates a wide variety of emissions that are changing the chemistry and composition of our planet~s atmosphere. Satellite... view more (2000-12-15)

Scientists find way to clean up the drugs market
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have made a breakthrough by using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as a reaction medium for the preparation of molecules of interest to the pharmaceutical industry.   view more (2004-09-13)

Nano-sized Electronic Circuit Promises Bright View of Early Universe
A newly developed nano-sized electronic device is an important step toward helping astronomers see invisible light dating from the creation of the universe. This invisible light makes up 98% of the light emitted since the "big bang," and may provide insights into the earliest stages of... view more (2008-07-11)

Mars Express confirms methane in the Martian atmosphere
During recent observations from the ESA Mars Express spacecraft in orbit around Mars, methane was detected in its atmosphere. Whilst it is too early to draw any conclusions on its origin, exciting as they may be, scientists are thinking about the next steps to take in order to understand more.... view more (2004-03-30)

Resilient form of plant carbon gives new meaning to term 'older than dirt'
A particularly resilient type of carbon from the first plants to regrow after the last ice age - and that same type of carbon from all the plants since - appears to have been accumulating for 11,000 years in the forests of British Columbia, Canada.   view more (2006-11-27)

Technological breakthrough in the fight to cut greenhouse gases
Scientists at Newcastle University have pioneered breakthrough technology in the fight to cut greenhouse gases.   view more (2008-04-25)

Sol-gel inks produce complex shapes with nanoscale features
New sol-gel inks developed by researchers at the University of Illinois can be printed into patterns to produce three-dimensional structures of metal oxides with nanoscale features.   view more (2007-10-12)

Prehistoric global warming may have contributed to fossil preservation
Prehistoric global warming episodes from massive atmospheric pollution involving carbon dioxide and methane could have created and preserved "mass kills" of wildlife, according to a University of Oregon study presented at the Geological Society of America's annual meeting.   view more (2005-10-13)

Study yields mixed results on potential for pine trees to store extra carbon dioxide
Southern pines appear to grow and conserve water somewhat better in the carbon-dioxide-enriched atmosphere expected by mid-century, a Duke University study has found.   view more (2005-08-10)

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 (2005-12-07)

New method for growing barium titanate films at atmospheric pressure

Fantastic plastic could cut CO2 emissions and purify water
A new membrane that mimics pores found in plants has applications in water, energy and climate change mitigation.   view more (2007-10-12)

Ceramic tubes could cut greenhouse gas emissions from power stations
Greenhouse gas emissions from power stations could be cut to almost zero by controlling the combustion process with tiny tubes made from an advanced ceramic material.   view more (2007-08-03)

Newly discovered 'superinsulators' promise to transform materials research, electronics design
Superinsulation may sound like a marketing gimmick for a drafty attic or winter coat. But it is actually a newly discovered fundamental state of matter created by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory in collaboration with several European institutions.   view more (2008-04-09)

Low levels of contamination also influence mortality rate
Navarre doctor Rosa Mar'­a Al'¡s Brun has shown, in her PhD thesis defended at the Public University of Navarre, that, despite contamination rates in Pamplona being very low, these still have an influence on death rates.   view more (2004-08-20)

Climate Change Affecting Earth's Outermost Atmosphere
Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels will produce a 3 percent reduction in the density of Earth's outermost atmosphere by 2017   view more (2006-12-12)

Carbon dioxide emissions predicted to reduce density of Earth's outermost atmosphere by 2017
Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels will produce a 3 percent reduction in the density of Earth's outermost atmosphere by 2017, according to a team of scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Pennsylvania State University (PSU).   view more (2006-12-12)
