Our Changing Climate
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. Tropical highlands and

Harder Rain, More Snow
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 indicate
every place on the plan ... > full story
Possible Fix For Global Warming?
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

Statisticians Show How Much People Depend On Weather Reports
Meteorologists on television, radio, online, and in newspapers supply weather reports to the average person over 100 times a month. Surveys demonstrated that the 300 billion forecasts accessed ... > more -
Meteorologists, Atmospheric Scientists Perfect Next-Generation Weather Simulation
Three severe hurricanes hit the U.S. in 2005. Weather forecasters now hope to reduce the loss of lives caused by hurricanes with better computer modeling. With more precise predictions of a storm's ... > more -
Environmental Scientists Use Fish Behavior To Monitor Water Quality
Researchers are using bluegills to detect industrial and agricultural spills in water supplies. Changes in the environment cause the fishes' behavior and breathing patterns to change. Electrodes are ... > more -
Environmental Engineers, Water Scientists Develop Children's Kit for Monitoring Water Health
Playing a role once reserved for environmental engineers, children are now helping to test the health of water in their local communities. A new kit comes equipped with everything needed to test the ... > more -
Environmental Scientists Find Tree Combo For Carbon Sequestration
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 in that ... > more -
