Fabled equatorial African icecaps to disappear
Fabled equatorial icecaps will disappear within two decades, because of global warming, a study British and Ugandan scientists has found.   view more (2006-05-16)

Food-crop yields in future greenhouse-gas conditions lower than expected
Open-air field trials involving five major food crops grown under carbon-dioxide levels projected for the future are harvesting dramatically less bounty than those raised in earlier greenhouse and other enclosed test conditions — and scientists warn that global food supplies could be at risk... view more (2006-06-30)

How Much Excess Fresh Water Was Added to the North Atlantic in Recent Decades?
Large regions of the North Atlantic Ocean have been growing fresher since the late 1960s as melting glaciers and increased precipitation, both associated with greenhouse warming, have enhanced continental runoff into the Arctic and sub-Arctic seas.   view more (2005-06-17)

Organic farming produces same corn and soybean yields as conventional farms, but consumes less energy and no pesticides, study finds
Organic farming produces the same yields of corn and soybeans as does conventional farming, but uses 30 percent less energy, less water and no pesticides, a review of a 22-year farming trial study concludes.   view more (2005-07-14)

Global atmospheric carbon level may depend primarily on Southern Ocean
Circulation in the waters near the Antarctic coast may be one of the planet's critical means of regulating levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, according to Princeton researchers.   view more (2006-06-23)

What can a magnet tell you about rain patterns? More than you would guess
If someone said you can understand rain patterns and the dynamics of the atmosphere by studying magnets and magnetism — and therefore make better predictions of the effects of global warming — would you think he's crazy? Brilliant?   view more (2006-06-22)

Thawing permafrost a significant source of carbon
Permafrost, permanently frozen soil, isn't staying frozen and a type of soil called loess contained deep within thawing permafrost may be releasing significant, and previously unaccounted for, amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.   view more (2006-06-16)

Nitrogen pollution boosts plant growth in tropics by 20 percent
A study by UC Irvine ecologists finds that excess nitrogen in tropical forests boosts plant growth by an average of 20 percent, countering the belief that such forests would not respond to nitrogen pollution.   view more (2008-02-07)

Western prairies face impending water crisis
The Canadian prairies are facing an unprecedented water crisis due to a combination of climate warming, increase in human activity and historic drought.   view more (2006-04-04)

ERS altimeter survey shows growth of Greenland Ice Sheet interior
Researchers have utilised more than a decade's worth of data from radar altimeters on ESA's ERS satellites to produce the most detailed picture yet of thickness changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet.   view more (2005-11-07)

Himalayan glacier melting observed from space
The Himalaya, the "Roof of the World", source of the seven largest rivers of Asia are, like other mountain chains, suffering the effects of global warming.   view more (2007-03-28)

Storing carbon dioxide below ground may prevent polluting above
A new analysis led by an MIT scientist describes a mechanism for capturing carbon dioxide emissions from a power plant and injecting the gas into the ground, where it would be trapped naturally as tiny bubbles and safely stored in briny porous rock.   view more (2007-02-12)

Radar altimetry confirms global warming is affecting polar glaciers
Scientists have confirmed that climate warming is changing how much water remains locked in the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, according to an article published in the Journal of Glaciology.   view more (2006-03-20)

Global 'sunscreen' has likely thinned, report NASA scientists
A new NASA study has found that an important counter-balance to the warming of our planet by greenhouse gases - sunlight blocked by dust, pollution and other aerosol particles - appears to have lost ground.   view more (2007-03-19)

Ancient global warming drove early primates' dispersal
The continent-hopping habits of early primates have long puzzled scientists, and several scenarios have been proposed to explain how the first true members of the group appeared virtually simultaneously on Asia, Europe and North America some 55 million years ago.   view more (2006-07-26)

In new study, ancient and modern evidence suggests limits to future global warming
Instrumental readings made during the past century offer ample evidence that carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere are warming Earth's climate, a team led by Duke University scientists has reported.   view more (2006-04-20)

Lands surface change on Alaska tundra creating longer, warmer summers in Arctic
A gradual lengthening of the snow-free season in Alaska's tundra, and a corresponding northward progression of the growth of shrubs and trees, may be creating a cycle of warmer and longer summers in the Alaskan Arctic.   view more (2005-09-23)

Nitrogen in the air feeds the oceans
A decade-long USC study has written the ending to a long-standing mystery: Where do marine organisms in the tropical oceans get the nitrogen they need to grow?   view more (2005-08-11)

New membrane strips carbon dioxide from natural gas faster and better
A modified plastic material greatly improves the ability to separate global warming-linked carbon dioxide from natural gas as the gas is prepared for use, according to engineers at The University of Texas at Austin who have analyzed the new plastic's performance.   view more (2007-10-12)

Climate shifts — probability of randomness
Severe climate changes during the last ice-age could have been caused by random chaotic variations on Earth and not governed by external periodic influences from the Sun. This has been shown in new calculations by a researcher at the Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen University.   view more (2007-03-12)

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)

Coral Reef Resilience: Better Feeders Survive Bleaching
Coral bleaching, a stress response that turns rainbow-hued reefs into bone-white graveyards, is damaging reefs worldwide. But some corals survive. A Nature report identifies a new trait critical to coral resiliency - the ability to kick feeding rates into overdrive.   view more (2006-04-27)

Linking Climate Change Across Time Scales
What do month-to-month changes in temperature have to do with century-to-century changes in temperature? At first it might seem like not much. But in a report published in this week's Nature, scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have found some unifying themes in the... view more (2006-05-19)

NASA study suggests extreme summer warming in the future
A new study by NASA scientists suggests that greenhouse-gas warming may raise average summer temperatures in the eastern United States nearly 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the 2080s.   view more (2007-05-10)

World's coral reef left vulnerable by paper parks
Although 18.7% of the world's coral reefs are within "Marine Protected Areas" (MPAs) less that 2% are within MPAs with sound management, scientists report in the June 23 edition of Science Magazine.   view more (2006-06-23)
