Paris (EU) Oct 31, 2003The European Union and European Space Agency (ESA) Joint Task Force has presented its report on the Space Green Paper consultation process, focusing on the targeted workshops that took place from March through June 2003. NASA Funded Earth Alert System To Aid MEMA In Disasters 
Huntsville - Oct 29, 2003The Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) has recently deployed a new communications system, based on NASA technology, that is designed to aid emergency management professionals when natural or man-made disasters occur. |

Wolves Rebalancing Yellowstone Eco System As Cottonwood Trees Return
Corvallis - Oct 29, 2003The reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park may be the key to maintaining groves of cottonwood trees that were well on their way to localized extinction, and is working to rebalance a stream ecosystem in the park for the first time in seven decades, Oregon State University scientists say in two new studies. Debate Heats Up On Role Of Climate In Human Evolution 
Boulder - Oct 29, 2003Scientists at the Geological Society of America annual meeting in Seattle next week are taking a comprehensive new look at drivers of human evolution. It now appears that climate variability during the Plio-Pleistocene (approximately 6 million years in duration) played a hugely important role. Recent Warming Of Arctic May Affect Worldwide Climate 
Greenbelt - Oct 24, 2003Recently observed change in Arctic temperatures and sea ice cover may be a harbinger of global climate changes to come, according to a recent NASA study. Satellite data -- the unique view from space -- are allowing researchers to more clearly see Arctic changes and develop an improved understanding of the possible effect on climate worldwide. Evidence Of Global Warming In The Past Supports Greenhouse Theory 
Santa Cruz - Oct 24, 2003Scientists have filled in a key piece of the global climate picture for a period 55 million years ago that is considered one of the most abrupt and extreme episodes of global warming in Earth's history. The new results from an analysis of sediment cores from the ocean floor are consistent with theoretical predictions of how Earth's climate would respond to rising concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Columbia Research Sheds Light On Ocean Dynamics 
New York - Oct 24, 2003Currents connecting Pacific and Indian Oceans are colder and deeper than thought Scientists at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory have found that currents connecting the Indian and Pacific Oceans are colder and deeper than originally believed. This discovery may one day help climate modelers predict the intensity of the Asian monsoon or El Nino with greater accuracy and with more lead-time than is currently possible. Clays May Have Aided Formation of Primordial Cells 
Chevy Chase - Oct 24, 2003Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers have discovered that clays may have been the catalysts that spurred the spontaneous assembly of fatty acids into the small sacs that ultimately evolved into the first living cells. |
New Genomic Data Helps Resolve Biology's Tree Of Life
Madison - Oct 23, 2003For more than a century, biologists have been working to assign plants, animals and microbes their respective places on the tree of life. More recently, by comparing DNA sequences from a few genes per species, scientists have been trying to construct a grand tree of life that accurately portrays the course of life on Earth, and shows how all organisms are related, one to another. Million Dollar Partnership To Revolutionize Ocean Research 
Victoria - Oct 20, 2003The Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and the province of British Columbia today announced $62.4 million in funding for the NEPTUNE Canada Project. The CFI-B.C. funding investment will help the University of Victoria (UVic) develop the world's largest cable-linked seafloor observatory off North America's west coast. Taking The Guesswork Out Of Long-Term Drought Prediction 
Huntsville - Oct 20, 2003It's tricky, this weather business � predicting drought, floods, rain or snow, especially months in advance. But NASA scientists at the National Space Science and Technology Center in Huntsville, Ala., are working to take the guesswork out of long-term prediction. Massive Antarctic Iceberg Splits: McMurdo Station Further Blocked 
McMurdo Station - Oct 20, 2003In what could be a boom or a bust for some Antarctic shipping, a massive, 100-mile long iceberg known as B-15A has split in two, satellite photos have confirmed. South American Glaciers Melting Faster, Changing Sea Level 
Santiago - Oct 17, 2003The Patagonia Icefields of Chile and Argentina, the largest non-Antarctic ice masses in the Southern Hemisphere, are thinning at an accelerating pace and now account for nearly 10 percent of global sea-level change from mountain glaciers, according to a new study by NASA and Chile's Centro de Estudios Cientificos. Climate Change And American Agriculture Faces Dwindling Benefits 
Boulder - Oct 17, 2003Computer-based simulations of U.S. agriculture show that, by the year 2060, the benefits of climate change to American croplands could be less than previous work had indicated. Proposed Air Pollution Treaty Could Better Control Climate Change While Improving Health 
Washington - Oct 17, 2003A global treaty focusing on intercontinental air pollution could be a better approach to controlling climate change than the Kyoto Protocol, according to a new scientific study. |
