Overseas Pollution Hitting The U.S.
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

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

What's In Our Air?
Spectroscopic images from
remote-sensing satellites of
the Ohio River Valley over
10 years have revealed a
decreasing concentration of
nitrogen oxides and nitric
acid, precursors to ozone. ... > full story
Right Mix Of Trees Fights Global Warming
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

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 -
Atmospheric Chemists Show Morning Fog Captures Particulate Matter
While it hassles commuters, morning mist removes a lot of airborne particles which are hazardous for people with respiratory health problems. The water droplets inside morning fog are of just the ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Link Contamination Levels to Tides
By washing decomposing plants into the ocean, high tides could contribute to the increased levels of Enterococci that are often responsible for beach closures. Scientists have now established a clear ... > 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 -
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 -

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 -
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 -

Environmental Engineers Detect Turbines' Turbulence Effects
Wind farms may have an impact on local weather patterns. As environmental engineers have discovered, wind farm propellers create a lot of turbulence in their wake, mixing air up and down with effects ... > 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
