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)

Continued warming of the Arctic Ocean
Several days ago, the 'Maria S Merian' returned from her second Arctic expedition with data confirming trends of Arctic warming.   view more (2006-10-05)

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)

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)

New observations and climate model data confirm recent warming of the tropical atmosphere
For the first time, new climate observations and computer models provide a consistent picture of recent warming of the tropical atmosphere.   view more (2005-08-12)

Peat and forests save permafrost from melting
Permafrost may be buffered against the impacts of climate change by peat and vegetation present in the northern regions, according to a study by McMaster researchers.   view more (2007-09-14)

A warming climate can support glacial ice
New research challenges the generally accepted belief that substantial ice sheets could not have existed on Earth during past super-warm climate events.   view more (2008-01-11)

Why is Greenland covered in ice?
There have been many reports in the media about the effects of global warming on the Greenland ice-sheet, but there is still great uncertainty as to why there is an ice-sheet there at all.   view more (2008-08-28)

Dust may dampen hurricane fury
After more than a dozen hurricanes battered the Atlantic Ocean last year, scientists are wondering what-if anything-might be causing stronger and more frequent storms.   view more (2006-10-10)

Level of important greenhouse gas has stopped growing
Scientists at UC Irvine have determined that levels of atmospheric methane - an influential greenhouse gas - have stayed nearly flat for the past seven years, which follows a rise that spanned at least two decades.   view more (2006-11-21)

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,... view more (2002-06-02)

Recent, rapid climate change is driving evolution of animal species
Rapid climate changes over the past several decades have led to heritable, genetic changes in animals as diverse as squirrels, birds and mosquitoes, according to University of Oregon evolutionary geneticists.   view more (2006-06-09)

Coral reefs are increasingly vulnerable to angry oceans
Size and shape may predict the survival of corals around the world when the weather churns the oceans in the years to come, according to a new model that relies on engineering principles.   view more (2006-11-27)

Many weather factors needed for accurate climate change predictions
Current climate change impact models that consider only one weather variable, such as increasing temperature, sometimes spawn unsubstantiated doomsday predictions, according to researchers at Purdue and North Carolina universities.   view more (2006-11-07)

Vegetation growth may quickly raise Arctic temperatures
Warming in the Arctic is stimulating the growth of vegetation and could affect the delicate energy balance there, causing an additional climate warming of several degrees over the next few decades.   view more (2005-09-06)

Droughts and reservoirs: Finding storage space underground
Odd as it sounds, in some places the smartest way to safeguard the water supply is to let it drain out of the reservoirs and soak into the ground.   view more (2006-09-19)

Richness of Marine Life is Under Threat
Future potential for the production of new wonder drugs - including anti-cancer agents - from marine animals and plants, is under threat according to biodiversity expert Professor Carlo Heip, speaking at the European marine science and ocean technology conference EurOCEAN 2004 in Galway, today.... view more (2004-05-11)

Arctic sea ice continues decline as temperatures rise
New satellite records monitored by a national team of collaborators show a four-year pattern of extremely low summer sea-ice coverage in the Arctic that continued in September 2005, which may be the result of warming temperatures and earlier spring melting.   view more (2005-09-29)

Envisat altimeter watches Pacific for cold tongue of La Ni√ħa
Satellite measurements of a steep difference in sea surface height between the western and eastern tropical Pacific support predictions that a La Ni√ħa event is in the offing.   view more (2006-03-06)

A CAR THAT RUNS ON FRESH AIR - ALMOST!
Karl's car finished 38th in a field of 109 entrants - an impressive feat by any standards. 'I built the car over a year as an A level technology project,' says Karl. 'The project was sponsored by Marine Projects at Lee Mill in Plymouth and the team consisted of myself and a friend, Sam Starmore,... view more (1999-02-01)

Storing carbon to combat global warming may cause other environmental problems, study suggests
Growing tree plantations to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to mitigate global warming - so called "carbon sequestration" - could trigger environmental changes that outweigh some of the benefits, a multi-institutional team led by Duke University suggested in a new report.   view more (2005-12-23)

Major initiative proposed to address amphibian crisis
Fifty of the leading amphibian researchers in the world have called for a new Amphibian Survival Alliance, a $400 million initiative to help reduce and prevent amphibian declines and extinctions, an ecological crisis of growing proportion that is continuing to get worse.   view more (2006-07-07)

Heat dangers forgotten in the battle against air pollution
UCL scientists warn that amidst all the concerns over air pollution, the more basic health message of 'staying cool when the weather is hot' may be being forgotten.   view more (2005-10-12)

Cyanobacteria ("blue-green algae") produce toxin with possible connection to neurodegerative disorders
It is well known that a tiny number of cyanobacteria, previously known as blue-green algae, produce substances that can be toxic to both humans and animals. Now a research team from Sweden, Scotland, and the U.S. has found that a further toxin (BMAA, -methyl amino-alanine) with a possible... view more (2005-04-08)

Hurricanes are getting stronger, study says
The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes worldwide has nearly doubled over the past 35 years, even though the total number of hurricanes has dropped since the 1990s.   view more (2005-09-16)
