Human-driven changes in the westerly winds are bringing hotter and drier springs to the American Southwest, according to new research from The University of Arizona in Tucson.
Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are absorbed from the atmosphere, and oxygen is released back into the atmosphere. This process makes wood -- and wood floors -- a carbon neutral product. In addition, wood flooring actually stores carbon throughout its service life, adding to its carbon neutral status.
PANalytical is pleased to be supporting two students in the 2008 'Expedition to the Greenhouse World' - an initiative that is the brainchild of Utrecht University
As part of the company's ongoing sponsorship of activities that stimulate interest in the sciences, PANalytical (Almelo, the Netherlands) is pleased to be supporting two students in the 2008 'Expedition to the Greenhouse World' - an initiative that is the brainchild of Utrecht University. Students competed for a place on the expedition with the winning pair being Barbara Terlouw and Robin van der Bles.
The impact of global warming in the Arctic may differ from the predictions of computer models of the region, according to a pair of Penn State biologists. The team -- which includes Eric Post, a Penn State associate professor of biology, and Christian Pederson, a Penn State graduate student -- has shown that grazing animals will play a key role in reducing the anticipated expansion of shrub growth in the region, thus limiting their predicted and beneficial carbon-absorbing effect.
Lush beautiful lawns are a part of summer, but they require time and money. The average lawn requires up to 40 hours of work and costs about $700 each year to maintain. But did you know that your yard and how you take care of it can help the environment?
Human activities are cumulatively driving the health of the world's oceans down a rapid spiral, and only prompt and wholesale changes will slow or perhaps ultimately reverse the catastrophic problems they are facing.
Tons of soot are released into the air annually as forest fires rage from California to the Amazon to Siberia and Indonesia. Climate scientists have generally assumed that the main effect of smoke on climate is cooling, as the floating particles can reflect some solar energy back to space as well as increasing cloud size and lifespan. But new research by scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science; the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC); and NASA may cause them to rethink soot's role in shaping the Earth's climate.
Earthwatch Institute is kicking off a two-month regional campaign to support global climate change research at Boston’s Museum of Science this Thursday evening. The Climate Change Campaign - a “first” for Earthwatch—runs from August 14-October 14, 2008
One in five of Germany's plant species could lose parts of its current range, a study by scientists at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the French Laboratoire d'Ecologie Alpine reveals.
