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

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

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

Mysteries of Thunderstorms
Satellite imaging is now
helping atmospheric
scientists link the amount
of charged ice in clouds to
lightning activity. Ice

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 -
Climate Change Researchers Ask Amateur Botanists To Record Signs Of Spring
Researchers began a nationwide initiative to track climate change by recording the timing of the first bud, first flower, and seed dispersal for plants across the country. They encouraged people to ... > 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 -
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 -
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 -
Research Meteorologists See More Severe Storms Ahead: The Culprit -- Global Warming
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 those 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 -
Biogeochemists Map Out Carbon Dioxide Emissions In The U.S.
Biogeochemists located where the most carbon dioxide emissions occur in the U.S. using a new mapping system. With this program-available to anyone on the Web-researchers were able to extract ... > more -
Meteorologists Tap Into Public For Help Tracking Storms
By recording the shape of snowflakes seen under a magnifying glass and submitting the information to a NASA Web site, the public can contribute to a global snow-tracking network. Different types of ... > 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
