Century of data shows intensification of water cycle but no increase in storms or floods
A review of the findings from more than 100 peer-reviewed studies shows that although many aspects of the global water cycle have intensified, including precipitation and evaporation, this trend has not consistently resulted in an increase in the frequency or intensity of tropical storms or floods over the past century. view more (2006-03-16)
Environmental lessons from tsunami as world's coastal population doubles
Coastal populations and ecosystems are more likely to bounce back from extreme coastal disasters by protecting local environments and building on local knowledge, according to a report published in Science. view more (2005-08-12)
Research on the color red shows definite impact on achievement
The color red can affect how people function: Red means danger and commands us to stop in traffic. Researchers at the University of Rochester have now found that red also can keep us from performing our best on tests. view more (2007-03-01)

New research in Chesapeake Bay, Pamlico Sound shows hurricanes, runoff tax water quality management efforts
A scientific study that involved analyzing phytoplankton in both North Carolina's Neuse River Estuary/Pamlico Sound and Maryland and Virginia's Chesapeake Bay offers a new lesson in light of recent increased hurricane activity along the East Coast, researchers say. view more (2005-12-23)
Advance Warning of Storms and Cyclones with New Technique
The catastrophic flooding in Jakarta in February this year could have been predicted nearly 3 weeks in advance with a new technique being developed by Dr Matt Wheeler and colleagues at the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre in Australia. The flooding was caused by large waves of air and clouds, so called Madden-Julian Oscillations (MJOs).... view more... (2002-06-02)
