Clam Cleanup
Biologists are able to
determine the sources of
toxins in water by using
clams as pollutant traps.
Clams naturally clean water
by feeding absorbing toxins
in their tissues as they
draw in water. By placing

Tracking CO2
Biogeochemists located where
the most carbon dioxide
emissions occur in the U.S.
using a new mapping system.
With this program-available
to anyone on the
Web-researchers were able to
extract information about

Tracking Pollution From Space
Engineers processed data
from NASA's Aura satellite
in order to track and
predict the movement of
airborne pollution. Using
satellite data to measure
ozone concentrations over

Meteorologists And Epidemiologists Study Connection Between Thunderstorms And Asthma Attacks
A multidisciplinary team studying weather patterns and records of emergency room visits found a rise in patients with asthma attacks in the days after a thunderstorm. They believe that rain breaks ... > more -
Earth Scientists And Meteorologists Create Historically Based, Realistic Weather Animations
Using data from a NASA satellite, scientists crafted accurate storm animations intended to improve upon current models used by meteorologists. They used historical data to combine all the information ... > more -
Civil Engineers Create High-powered Hurricane Simulator
Engineers designed a portable hurricane simulator, powered by four marine diesel engines and equipped with a five thousand gallon water tank. It can create 125 mile per hour winds, subjecting real ... > more -
Meteorologists Track Tornado Damage From Satellites
Meteorologists use high resolution satellite photography to analyze the path and intensity of recent tornadoes. The data obtained allows them to develop a mathematical model to identify storm damage ... > more -
Environmental Scientists Fume About Disappearing Flower Fragrances
Biochemists have shown that air pollution inhibits the distance that flower's fragrances can travel. Scent molecules usually travel easily in the air, but pollutants break them apart, which destroys ... > more -
Atmospheric Scientists' Model Predicts Hurricane Threat Months In Advance
Meteorologists can make long range predictions about hurricane activity months in advance using what they call the Atlantic Meridional Mode. It is the relationship between sea surface temperature, ... > more -
Meteorologists Increase Understanding Of Tornado Formation
Meteorologists recently studied the effect of gravity waves on tornado formation. They found that when gravity waves push down on rotating thunderstorms the storm compresses and spins faster. Being ... > more -

Engineers And Meteorologists Catalogue Weather Activity To Devise Green Energy Plan
Researchers installed weather stations to track the best locations for taking advantage of renewable resources. Tracking sunlight exposure helps pinpoint the ideal location for solar panels, and ... > more -
Soil Scientists Restore Marshes To Protect Coastal Ecology
Soil scientists spread material dredged from shipping channels over shore areas to help rebuild marsh areas. Wetlands along the shore protect the land from storm surges, create habitat for wildlife, ... > more -
Atmospheric Scientists And Engineers Demonstrate Amount Of Pollution In U.S. Originating Overseas
Environmental scientists and engineers developed mathematical models to calculate the impact of pollution from Europe and Asia on areas in the United States. They found that almost twelve percent of ... > more
