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

Thunderstorms And Asthma
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

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 -
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 -
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 -
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 -
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 -
Engineers Use Mine Roof Simulator To Increase Mine Safety
Industrial hygienists, applying geology and engineering, can test mine support systems with the only mine roof simulator of its kind. Using up to 3 million pounds of vertical force and 1.6 million ... > more
