Ice core studies confirm accuracy of climate models
An analysis has been completed of the global carbon cycle and climate for a 70,000 year period in the most recent Ice Age, showing a remarkable correlation between carbon dioxide levels and surprisingly abrupt changes in climate. view more (2008-09-12)
Solar cycle linked to global climate, drives events similar to El Nino, La Nina
Establishing a key link between the solar cycle and global climate, new research led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) shows that maximum solar activity and its aftermath have impacts on Earth that resemble La Nina and El Nino events in the tropical Pacific Ocean. view more (2009-07-17)
First study to show that when counting frozen as well as fresh embryos, single embryo transfer does not reduce the chances of having a baby
Doctors in Australia have found that transferring one embryo instead of two during an IVF cycle does not reduce the chances of a woman having a baby, when frozen as well as fresh embryos are taken into account. Dr Jim Catt, Embryology director of Sydney IVF, Australia, and his colleagues have conducted the first study looking at cumulative... view more... (2003-06-27)
Sharp views show ground ice on Mars is patchy and variable
For the first time, scientists have found that water ice lies at variable depths over small-scale patches on the Red Planet. The discovery draws a much more detailed picture of underground ice on Mars than was previously available. The new results appear in the May 3, 2007, issue of the scientific journal Nature. view more (2007-05-03)
Premenstrual symptoms getting on your nerves?

Accord on international waterways not followed
The use of international watercourses, that is, rivers and lakes shared by two or more states, has long been the object of numerous international agreements. States enter agreements with each other regarding the distribution of the water itself as a resource, maritime use of the waterway, or the extraction of water resources (fish stocks,... view more...

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)
`Glowing` technique could detect river pollution
New technology used to analyse dissolved organic matter in river water could also help scientists detect and monitor pollution, according to a new research published in the journal Hydrological Processes (1). Dissolved organic matter is found in all river water, and can come from both a natural source such as the soil, as well as human sources... view more... (2002-10-07)
Rain showers may be caused by vortices in the air
The Delft researchers calculated how hundreds of thousands of water droplets contained in about one litre of cloud move and grow. During this process, it would seem that tubular-shaped vortices a few centimetres in size are formed and that these force the droplets outwards by centrifugal force, so that they congregate at the edge. For rain to be... view more... (1999-11-09)
North Sea efficient sink for carbon dioxide
The measured annual increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is only 60 percent of the annual emissions from fossil fuels. view more (2005-10-11)
Cooling with tiny crystals
Refrigeration equipment prevents sweaty brows in the summer and also keeps our food fresh for longer periods. With CryoSol®, a new and easily pumpable liquid ice suspension, space requirements for cold storage are much lower than with conventional coolants. view more (2004-08-27)
Beach pollution is worst during new and full moon
A new study of 60 beaches in Southern California suggests that water pollution varies with the lunar cycle, reaching the highest levels when tides are ebbing during the new and full moon. view more (2005-08-02)
Scientists uncover solar cycle, stratosphere and ocean connections
Subtle connections between the 11-year solar cycle, the stratosphere, and the tropical Pacific Ocean work in sync to generate periodic weather patterns that affect much of the globe, according to research appearing this week in the journal Science. view more (2009-08-28)
Water and sanitation key to health of infants in developing countries (pp 94, 112)
Research among households in Peru in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how healthy growth of infants in less-developed countries is directly related to water supply, water storage, and sanitation-children who grow up in households where these facilities are unavailable or of poor quality are more likely to experience diarrhoeal disease... view more...

Expedition discovers new sea current off African coast
Researchers on board the Pelagia, the research vessel belonging to the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), have discovered an interesting rotational current in the sea off the coast of South Africa. Unlike previously identified 'Agulhas rings', this one, a cyclone, rotates clockwise. The water in the centre is also about 50 centimetres... view more... (2001-07-26)
Using an activated-carbon filtering pitcher significantly reduces chemicals in tap water
A study conducted by Université Laval researchers concludes that using an activated-carbon filtering pitcher is the most effective way to reduce disinfection by-products in tap water. view more (2006-11-03)
Fresh-cut produce washing practices can minimize food-borne illness risks
Researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently examined the safety and quality of "wash techniques" used in the production of packaged produce. view more (2007-12-07)
Euro Area Business Cycle: Stylized Facts and Measurement Issues
In recent years, studies of the euro area business cycle have flourished. However, national statistics have only recently been harmonized and aggregate statistics have only been available for a short period of time. Clearly, there is a need to establish stylized facts for the euro area economies and European Monetary Union gives an opportunity to... view more... (2005-02-04)
NASA's 'Deep Impact' Team Reports First Evidence of Cometary Ice
Comet Tempel 1, which created a flamboyant Fourth of July fireworks display in space last year, is covered with a small amount of water ice. view more (2006-02-03)
