Saving Lives When Wildfires Burn
Scientists created a way to
combine weather data and
geographic information
systems software in a visual
display for use in disaster
response. They created a map
with a variety of ways to

World On Water
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

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

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

Are Bioluminescent Bacteria Behind Milky Seas Legend?
For centuries, sailors in the Indian Ocean have told stories of seas glowing with a dim, white light at night. Satellite images have now confirmed the appearance of what seem to be bioluminescent ... > 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 -
Improving Accuracy Of Hurricane Forecasts
Meteorologists have found a new discovery may boost the accuracy of the forecasts. The surprising factor is dust, researchers have found that years where there was a lot of dust, there were less ... > more -
Atmospheric Scientists Monitor 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 ... > more -
Cool Pacific Waters May Not Affect Upcoming Hurricane Season
Like their more dramatic cousins El Niños, La Niñas -- the periodic cooling of ocean waters -- can have a dramatic impact on hurricanes, meteorologists say. The current La Niña, ... > more -
Climatologists Forecast Completely New Climates
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. ... > more -
Mechanical And Aerospace Engineers Use Satellites To Track Ozone Levels
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 time allows scientists ... > more -
Geophysicists Discover Slippery Secret Of Weaker Underwater Earthquakes
Seismologists investigating undersea earthquakes have found that molten rock lubricates faults. This decreases the amount of friction between sides of the fault and decreases the intensity of ... > more -
Oceanographers Uncover The Physics Of Rip Currents
Rip currents flow in very erratic patterns, not in steady courses as previously believed -- which may help explain why they can be so dangerous even for experienced swimmers. Oceanographers have ... > more -
Climatologists, Oceanographers Track Climate-changing Ocean Pattern
Researchers are using satellites in efforts to better predict El Niño, the weather pattern responsible for supplying more moisture and energy to storms in the U.S. during the winter season. El ... > more
