NASA gets a 3-D look at Neki becoming extra-tropical
NASA's Aqua and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellites are watching Tropical Storm Neki become extra-tropical, and TRMM data was used to create a three-dimensional image of the storm. view more (2009-10-27)
NASA's QuikScat and Aqua providing important data on Tropical Storm Anja
Anja has continued to weaken over the last 24 hours, and NASA's QuikScat satellite has confirmed that the once mighty Category 4 Cyclone is now a tropical storm in the southern Indian Ocean. view more (2009-11-19)
Baja watching Tropical Storm Patricia in the latest GOES-11 satellite movie
The nineteenth tropical cyclone of the Eastern Pacific formed over this past weekend, and strengthened into Tropical Storm Patricia. view more (2009-10-14)
Underdogs in the understory: Study suggests nature favors rarer trees
A study of seven tropical forests around the world has revealed that nature encourages biodiversity by favoring the growth of less common trees. view more (2006-01-30)
Presentation of the "Document on the Freezing of Oocytes for Human Reproduction"
The Observatory of Bioethics and Law has made public its latest "Document on the Freezing of Oocytes for Human Reproduction", which upholds the authorisation of the cryopreservation of oocytes for use in assisted reproduction. The Document was drawn up by the Opinion Group of the Observatory of Bioethics and Law of the University of... view more... (2002-05-07)
MSU researchers recommend ways to fight lake trout invasion in Glacier National Park
Natural barriers like waterfalls play an important role in preventing lake trout from spreading through Glacier National Park, so maintaining those barriers should be a priority, Montana State University researchers said after conducting a four-year study in the park. view more (2008-04-25)
Cyclones spurt water into the stratosphere, feeding global warming
Scientists at Harvard University have found that tropical cyclones readily inject ice far into the stratosphere, possibly feeding global warming. view more (2009-04-21)
NASA eyes Hilda's Hawaiian hangout -- south of the islands
Tropical Storm Hilda is hanging on to tropical storm force winds, and continues to track south of the Hawaiian Islands. NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite noticed some moderate rainfall in Hilda's center earlier today, but the storm is staying far enough south of Hawaii to not cause trouble for travelers and vacationers. view more (2009-08-27)
Accuracy of past hurricane counts good
Counting tropical storms that occurred before the advent of aircraft and satellites relies on ships logs and hurricane landfalls, making many believe that the numbers of historic tropical storms in the Atlantic are seriously undercounted. view more (2007-11-26)
Confirmed - deforestation plays critical climate change role
Dr Pep Canadell, from the Global Carbon Project and CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, says today in the journal Science that tropical deforestation releases 1.5 billion tonnes of carbon each year into the atmosphere. view more (2007-05-14)
Smithsonian perspective: Biodiversity in a warmer world
Will climate change exceed life's ability to respond? Biodiversity in a Warmer World, published in the Oct. 10, 2008 issue of the journal, Science, illustrates that cross-disciplinary research fostered by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama clearly informs this urgent debate. view more (2008-10-10)
Nitrogen retained through loss
The nitrogen cycle plays a major role in seagrass fields. Dutch researcher Arie Vonk studied the nitrogen dynamics of seagrasses in Indonesia. He discovered that the interaction between seagrasses, animals and microorganisms results in an efficient nitrogen cycle in tropical seagrass fields. Consequently the nitrogen lost from seagrasses is still... view more... (2008-05-23)
Neglected tropical diseases burden those overseas, but travelers also at risk
Though little known to most Americans, lymphatic filariasis, trachoma, leishmaniasis, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis and other so-called neglected tropical diseases are responsible for severe health burdens, especially among the world's poorest people. view more (2007-12-26)
Ignacio May Get Some Company in the Eastern Pacific
Tropical Storm Ignacio may not be alone in the Eastern Pacific Ocean for long. There are two areas of showers and thunderstorms that forecasters are watching for development, farther east and closer to land. view more (2009-08-27)
Passenger Screening Advised To Cut Risk Of Importing Drug-Resistant Malaria To Africa
Imported resistance has rendered ineffective the two affordable malaria drugs which have been the mainstay of malaria treatment in Africa for forty years, according to experts writing today in the journal Science. Scientists from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and colleagues from institutions in the USA, South Africa and... view more... (2004-08-16)
NASA satellite reveals a depressed and disorganized Henri
Depression happens to everyone, even tropical storms, and Henri is now tropically depressed. NASA satellite imagery has confirmed he's weakened to a tropical depression and he is further expected to degenerate into a remnant low pressure area. view more (2009-10-09)
'MilliBots' for the millennium National Science Week at Loughborough University
The 'MilliBots' will be judged by a panel of University staff, who will assess each entry's fitness for purpose and look for the most innovative and novel designs. The winning entries in each age group will receive tickets to Snibston Discovery Park, and prizes designed to stimulate their interest in science, engineering and technology. The... view more...

Malaria experts to unveil top-flight research during international conference at The University of Nottingham
Some of the world's leading authorities on tropical diseases and parasitic infections will gather for an international conference at The University of Nottingham to discuss the latest breakthroughs in research and treatments. view more (2005-02-03)
For hurricanes, storms, raindrop size makes all the difference
When Tropical Storm Gaston hit Richmond, Va., in August 2004, its notable abundance of small and mid-sized raindrops created torrential rains that led to unexpected flash flooding throughout the city and its suburbs. New research from NASA has concluded that tropical cyclones like Gaston produce rain differently than another class of storms called... view more... (2008-06-10)
Fred Fades with a Satellite Exclamation Point
NASA's Aqua satellite flew over the remnants of Fred, September 13 and captured a visible image of the storm's clouds from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument. The AIRS image showed Fred's clouds stretched from northeast to southwest. view more (2009-09-15)
