Overseas Pollution Hitting The U.S.
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

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

Global Warming Equals Stronger Hurricanes
Climate change experts
studying hurricanes
documented a 35-year warming
trend in ocean surface
temperature and linked it to
larger hurricanes. The
increase has been 1 degree

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

Atmospheric Scientists Map Pollution Decrease
Spectroscopic images from remote-sensing satellites of the Ohio River Valley over 10 years have revealed a decreasing concentration of nitrogen oxides and nitric acid, precursors to ... > 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 -
Atmospheric Chemists Show Morning Fog Captures Particulate Matter
While it hassles commuters, morning mist removes a lot of airborne particles which are hazardous for people with respiratory health problems. The water droplets inside morning fog are of just the ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Link Contamination Levels to Tides
By washing decomposing plants into the ocean, high tides could contribute to the increased levels of Enterococci that are often responsible for beach closures. Scientists have now established a clear ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Use Algae To Capture Carbon Dioxide
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 algae, ... > more -
Meteorologists See Future of Increasingly Extreme Weather Events
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 ... > more -

Mechanical Engineers Create High-tech Solar Panels
Photovoltaic panels have a new design: concentric circles that focus the sun's rays on miniaturized modules. Having the panels automatically sense sunlight and turn towards it also makes these ... > 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 -
Climate Change Researchers Ask Amateur Botanists To Record Signs Of Spring
Researchers began a nationwide initiative to track climate change by recording the timing of the first bud, first flower, and seed dispersal for plants across the country. They encouraged people to ... > more -
