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 -
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 -
Soil Scientists Stabilize Fire Ravaged Topsoil With New Technology
Chemists and engineers designed a technology that protects soil. A polymer encased in recycled paper bonds to positive ions in soil to form clumps. These clods of dirt break up the hard surface that ... > more -
Geologists Create Map Of Threat Of Volcanic Eruptions Throughout The United States
Geologists combined research from around the country with Google Maps to show where volcanoes could erupt in the United States. The website is constantly updated to reflect the current status of ... > more -
Meteorologists' Weather Forecasting Improving
Meteorologists have markedly increased the accuracy of their forecasts in the last twenty years. Advances in radar and satellite technology have helped to improve daily forecasts, making a four-day ... > more -
Atmospheric Physicists Develop Dust Storm Forecasting System
Atmospheric Physicists designed an early warning system to predict the path and danger of developing dust storms. They linked together storm research, forecasting, and warning tools from different ... > more -
Chemical Engineers Call On Nanoparticles To Combat Polluted Groundwater
Chemical engineers created nanoparticles out of gold and palladium to break down pollutants in groundwater. Adding the particles to groundwater converts dangerous contaminants like trichloroethylene ... > more -
Geophysicists Show That Crust Temperature Variation Explains Half Of Elevation Differences In North America
Geophysicists determined that tectonic mountain-building processes are not the only factor that determines elevation in North America. The temperature of the crust affects its density, and lower ... > more -
Marine Biologists Work To Protect Seahorses By Developing A Breeding Program
Marine biologists, worried that regular harvesting of wild seahorses may threaten the creature with extinction, have begun breeding them in home aquariums. Caring for seahorses requires a three-step ... > more
