Our Changing Climate
Geographers have projected
temperature increases due to
greenhouse gas emissions to
reach a not-so-chilling
conclusion: climate zones
will shift and some climates
will disappear completely by
2100. Tropical highlands and

Harder Rain, More Snow
While raising average global
temperatures, climate change
could also bring more snow,
harder rain, or heat waves,
meteorologists say. Computer
models based on climate data
from nine countries indicate
every place on the plan ... > full story
Possible Fix For Global Warming?
Engineers have designed a
simple, sustainable and
natural carbon sequestration
solution using algae. A team
at Ohio University created a
photo bioreactor that uses
photosynthesis to grow

Mysteries of Thunderstorms
Satellite imaging is now
helping atmospheric
scientists link the amount
of charged ice in clouds to
lightning activity. Ice
particles in thunderstorms
can help increase

Atmospheric Scientists Monitor Global Carbon
With the annual, steady increase of global warming and carbon discharge, atmospheric chemists are gathering air samples on behalf of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Air ... > more -
Meteorologists Discover How Monsoon Affects Summer Weather
Traveling to the coast of Western Mexico, U.S. researchers are studying the North American Monsoon, which brings humid air and heavy rain by blowing winds from the ocean. Studying the monsoon will ... > more -
Environmental Scientists Find Tree Combo For Carbon Sequestration
A research team found 31 hardy trees that sequester carbon efficiently for the New York region, mitigating against the impacts of high deforestation and carbon release into the atmosphere in that ... > more -
Meteorologists Tap Into Public For Help Tracking Storms
By recording the shape of snowflakes seen under a magnifying glass and submitting the information to a NASA Web site, the public can contribute to a global snow-tracking network. Different types of ... > more -
Meteorologists, Atmospheric Scientists Perfect Next-Generation Weather Simulation
Three category-5 hurricanes hit the U.S. in 2005 -- a record. Weather forecasters now hope to reduce the loss of lives caused by hurricanes with better computer modeling. With more precise ... > more -
Climatologists, Oceanographers Track Climate-changing Ocean Pattern
Researchers are using satellites in efforts to better predict El Niño, the weather pattern responsible for supplying more moisture and energy to storms in the U.S. during the winter season. El ... > more -
