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 Pollution From Space
Engineers processed data
from NASA's Aura satellite
in order to track and
predict the movement of
airborne pollution. Using
satellite data to measure
ozone concentrations over

Predicting When Tornadoes Will Strike
Meteorologists found
connections between the sea
surface temperature in the
tropical Pacific Ocean and
the occurrence of tornadoes
in unlikely parts of the
North American continent.

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 -
Meteorologists Increase Understanding Of Tornado Formation
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 spins faster. Being ... > more -
