News: Earth Impacts Linked to Human-Caused Climate Change

A new NASA-led study shows that human-caused climate change has impacted a wide range of Earth's natural systems.

Reference: William Smith (1769-1839)

William Smith discovered that he could identify rock layers by the unique fossils they held. His discovery helped later generations of scientists to understand the history of life on Earth.

News: Striking a Balance with Climate Change

The sun has powered almost everything on Earth since life began, including its climate.

News: NASA Satellite Captures Image of Cyclone Nargis Flooding in Burma (Myanmar)

NASA's Terra satellite captured images of Burma (Myanmar) showing the devastation of flooding from Cyclone Nargis.

News: Scientists Discover New Ocean Current

Scientists have discovered a new climate pattern, the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation which explains changes in the water important in helping commercial fishermen understand fluctuations in the fish stock. (Georgia Institute of Technology press release)

News: Researchers Forecast 59 Percent Chance of Record Low Arctic Sea Ice in 2008

New calculations indicate the record low minimum extent of sea ice across the Arctic last September has a three-in-five chance of being shattered again in 2008 because of continued warming temperatures and a preponderance of younger, thinner ice. (University of Colorado at Boulder press release)

News: Before Fossil Fuels, Earth's Minerals Kept CO2 in Check

Over millions of years carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have been moderated by a finely-tuned natural feedback system – a system that human emissions have recently overwhelmed. (Carnegie Institution press release)

News: Northern Lights Glimmer with Unexpected Trait

Some light in Earth's aurora glow is polarized – a state not thought possible for the aurora, according to new observations that may improve understanding of Earth's upper atmosphere, its magnetic field, and the energies of particles from the sun. (American Geophysical Union press release)

News: Ozone Hole Recovery May Reshape Southern Hemisphere Climate Change

A full recovery of the stratospheric ozone hole could modify climate change in the southern hemisphere and even amplify Antarctic warming, according to scientists. (University of Colorado at Boulder press release)

News: Better Regional Monitoring of CO2 Needed as Global Levels Continue Rising

Monitoring Earth's rising greenhouse gas levels will require a global data collection network 10 times larger than the one currently in place in order to quantify regional progress in emission reductions, scientists say. (University of Colorado at Boulder press release)

News: Stratospheric Injections to Counter Global Warming Could Damage Ozone Layer

A much-discussed idea to offset global warming by injecting sulfates into the stratosphere would drastically affect the ozone layer. (NCAR/UCAR press release)

News: Sierra Nevada Rose to Current Height Earlier Than Thought

Scientists have found that the central Sierra Nevada largely attained its present elevation 12 million years ago, roughly 8 or 9 million years earlier than commonly thought. (Stanford University press release)
