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

Global Warming Causes Severe Storms
Research Meteorologists
found that the temperature
changes brought on by global
warming are significant
enough to cause an increase
in the occurrence of severe
storms. Severe storms are

Astronomers Discover That The Earth's Magnetotail Charges The Surface Of The Moon
Astrophysicists found that the moon's surface becomes electrified during each full moon. The moon passes through the Earth's magnetotail, a cone of highly-charged particles, for about 6 days each ... > more -
Meteorologists Examine Relationship Of El Nino And Winter Tornadoes In The U.S.
Meteorologists found connections between the sea surface temperature in the tropical Pacific Ocean and the occurrence of tornadoes in unlikely parts of the North American continent. During El ... > more -
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 -

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 -
