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

Big Quakes Trigger Small Quakes
Seismologists found that
L-waves, slow-moving seismic
surface waves, from larger
earthquakes can trigger
smaller earthquakes as they
travel through the ground.
Different from aftershocks

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 -
Industrial Hygienists Suggest Watching Out For Mold When Going Green
Industrial hygienists found that mold, rot, and corrosion are dangers that must be accounted for when builders construct energy-efficient homes. Recycled materials used in this type of construction ... > 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 -
Electrical Engineers And Meteorologists Devise Method To Measure Strength Of Lightning Strikes On Tall Buildings
Electrical engineers developed a mathematical equation to measure the electrical current strength of lightning as it strikes tall buildings. The researchers developed new ways to prepare estimates of ... > 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 -
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 -
