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

Tracking CO2
Biogeochemists located where
the most carbon dioxide
emissions occur in the U.S.
using a new mapping system.
With this program-available

Dangers Of Going Green
Industrial hygienists found
that mold, rot, and
corrosion are dangers that
must be accounted for when
builders construct
energy-efficient homes.

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 -
Environmental Scientists Fume About Disappearing Flower Fragrances
Biochemists have shown that air pollution inhibits the distance that flower's fragrances can travel. Scent molecules usually travel easily in the air, but pollutants break them apart, which destroys ... > more -
Atmospheric Scientists' Model Predicts Hurricane Threat Months In Advance
Meteorologists can make long range predictions about hurricane activity months in advance using what they call the Atlantic Meridional Mode. It is the relationship between sea surface temperature, ... > 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 -
Atmospheric Scientists And Engineers Demonstrate Amount Of Pollution In U.S. Originating Overseas
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 almost twelve percent of ... > 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 -
Geologists Create Map Of Threat Of Volcanic Eruptions Throughout The United States
Geologists combined research from around the country with Google Maps to show where volcanoes could erupt in the United States. The website is constantly updated to reflect the current status of ... > more
