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 -
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 -
Dermatologists Discover Sun Protection Under The Sea
Dermatologists recognize the benefits of a compound called astaxanthin. Found in red ocean plants and animals such as salmon, astaxanthin is the most effective and efficient free radical sponge in ... > more -
Architectural Engineers Design Homes To Withstand Earthquakes
Engineers have designed windows and walls that will not break when shaken by the intense motion caused by earthquakes. By installing glass panels that do not touch the corners of the frame, ... > more -
Meteorologists Now Able To Issue Storm-based Warnings
Meteorologists no longer have to unnecessarily alarm an entire county with a storm warning. Using a computer program that reflects an increase in the understanding of how storms develop and move, ... > more -
Geophysicists Discover Slippery Secret Of Weaker Underwater Earthquakes
Seismologists investigating undersea earthquakes have found that molten rock lubricates faults. This decreases the amount of friction between sides of the fault and decreases the intensity of ... > more -

Engineers Create Recycling Plant That Removes The Need To Sort
Engineers use the term single-stream recycling for their plant that takes the sorting out of the public’s hands. Trucks dump an unsorted mess of paper, plastic, and metal onto a conveyor belt. ... > more -
Geographers Map Likeliest Places For Big Fires
Foresters and geographers have mapped the locations in the Santa Monica mountains where the most destructive fires are likely to start. To make their map, they combined data about where fires were ... > more -
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 -
Meteorologists Invent Better Way To Monitor Hurricane Strength
Meteorologists have developed a new method for analyzing hurricane strength. A series of mathematical formulas transform data from Doppler radars into a 3-D picture of storm intensity every 6 ... > more
