Uncovering the Mysteries of the Seas
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

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

Dust Storms And Hurricanes
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

Summer Forecast: La Niña
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

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 -
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 -
Engineering Students Build Next-Generation Bathyscaphe
Computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering students at the University of Florida have built a fully automated underwater vehicle. Driven by five thrusters and controlled by complex electronics, ... > 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 -
Students Help Meteorologists Make Sense of Satellite Radar Data
One hundred schools in 11 countries are participating in a program to help NASA calibrate the measurements from CloudSat, a remote-sensing satellite. Students record the type of clouds and ... > more -
Meteorologists Discover How Monsoon Affects Summer Weather
Traveling to the coast of Western Mexico, U.S. researchers are studying the North American Monsoon, which brings humid air and heavy rain by blowing winds from the ocean. Studying the monsoon will ... > more -
Seismologists Build Global Listening Posts to Detect Quakes
In the Global Seismographic Network, 138 networked stations can pick up quake movement and send instant information to computers around the world. The network has passed its first real-world test: ... > 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
