Knowing Where Tornadoes Will Strike
Meteorologists recently
studied the effect of
gravity waves on tornado
formation. They found that
when gravity waves push down
on rotating thunderstorms
the storm compresses and

Volcano Warning!
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 individual volcanoes, and

Perfect Weather Predictions
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,

Planes Improve Weather
Electrical engineers are
providing meteorologists
with better information for
their forecasts with
Tropospheric Airborne
Meteorological Data Reports.
Sensors are placed on
regional airliners cruising

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 -
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 -
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 -
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 -
Meteorologists' New Scale Will Help in Emergency Planning
Those who live in the Northeaster United States will be able to plan ahead for major storms thanks to a new ranking scale that predicts not only how many inches of snow will fall, but also how long ... > more -
Atmospheric Scientists Link Lightning to Ice Particles In Clouds
Satellite imaging is now helping atmospheric scientists link the amount of charged ice in clouds to lightning activity. Ice particles in thunderstorms can help increase precipitation, the scientists ... > 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 -
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 -
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
