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 -
Atmospheric Physicists Develop Dust Storm Forecasting System
Atmospheric Physicists designed an early warning system to predict the path and danger of developing dust storms. They linked together storm research, forecasting, and warning tools from different ... > 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 -
Marine Biologists Work To Protect Seahorses By Developing A Breeding Program
Marine biologists, worried that regular harvesting of wild seahorses may threaten the creature with extinction, have begun breeding them in home aquariums. Caring for seahorses requires a three-step ... > 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 -
Meteorologists Find That Increased Ocean Temperatures Cause Increasingly Intense 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 Fahrenheit, resulting in ... > more -
Poultry Nutritionists Remove Pollutants From Watersheds By Adding Enzyme To Chicken Feed
Poultry nutritionists add an enzyme called phytase to chicken feed in an effort to decrease the amount of phosphorus that passes through them undigested. Research revealed the maximum amount of ... > more -
Seismologists Devise New Technique To Measure Pollution
Seismologists have tested a new way to measure the concentration of the dangerous groundwater contaminant Trichloroethylene (TCE). Ultrasonic waves called P-waves are sent through ground containing ... > more -
Geophysicists Blame La Nina Weather For Lost Time
Geophysicists have identified the very real physical mechanism that can lengthen or shorten the amount of time the earth takes to complete one rotation. During La Nina the temperature of the Pacific ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Use Regional Airliners To Increase Weather Forecasting Accuracy
Electrical engineers are providing meteorologists with better information for their forecasts with Tropospheric Airborne Meteorological Data Reports. Sensors are placed on regional airliners cruising ... > more
