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

Tracking 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

Engineers Create Recycling Plant That Removes The Need To Sort
Engineers use the term single-stream recycling for their plant that takes the sorting out of the public’s hands. Trucks dump an unsorted mess of paper, plastic, and metal onto a conveyor belt. ... > more -
Geoscientists Investigate Rare Carbon Formation
Carbonados, black carbon formations that resemble diamonds, have been show to have a chemical spectrum that indicates they originated before the formation of the Earth; their high hydrogen content ... > more -
Environmental Scientists Use Fish Behavior To Monitor Water Quality
Researchers are using bluegills to detect industrial and agricultural spills in water supplies. Changes in the environment cause the fishes' behavior and breathing patterns to change. Electrodes are ... > 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 -
Environmental Engineers, Water Scientists Develop Children's Kit for Monitoring Water Health
Playing a role once reserved for environmental engineers, children are now helping to test the health of water in their local communities. A new kit comes equipped with everything needed to test the ... > 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 -

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 Now Able To Issue Storm-based Warnings
Meteorologists no longer have to unnecessarily alarm an entire county with a storm warning. Using a computer program that reflects an increase in the understanding of how storms develop and move, ... > more -
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
