Alaska Beetle,Scientists Cut Off New Antifreeze Molecule

Scientists, patients with frozen insects Alaska 100 degrees and above 911 and all biological proteins can survive at lower temperatures than to remove, unlike antifreeze to identify new molecules, new molecular antifreezes. Xylomannan called protein in the cell and has a new life and location that contains the most sugar and fatty acids.

Ocean Acoustics's Affects by Rise in Human Create Carbon Dioxide

Well as human activities, carbon emissions from the planet's hot springs. Increase in the atmosphere, the problem of carbon dioxide, CO2 is by sea, by adding the acidity of seawater () pH at the bottom of the sea water is absorbed, this process is 'sea of acid' and called. Threatening the public interest for science and only a few groups of marine life and coral, in a recent study, men not only affect the acoustic characteristics, warming, ocean acidification, carbon dioxide -- have been achieved. Low-frequency sound transmission from the sea.

From Greenhouse to Icehouse: Reconstructing the Environment of the Voring Plateau

Fossil marine sediment core analysis, history, won the light environment found at high latitudes during the Earth.

Tower and the Eocene about 55 million years old age, the ice at the beginning of the world, the loss of about 25 million years is considered one of the Oligocene, continental ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland development of ice cover.

Black Carbon Deposits on Himalayan Ice Threaten Earth's 'Third Pole'

Much of the world's largest deposits of glacial dust in Tibet - the polar ice, NASA from scientists and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Absorb the incoming solar radiation is not contributing to a new study to escape the crowd and dust can be deposited into speed. The snow was enough to melt the ice.

Tibetan Plateau temperature - even the world "third pillar" is called - the air warmed by 0.3 ℃ 0.5 ℃, the past 30 years every 10 years (F), approximately two times faster than the compliance of the Earth temperature rise. And new research. Quantitative modeling can rival the impact of greenhouse gases in the soot and global warming the glaciers in Tibet continues.

Swiss Scientists Measure Glacial Melting With Light



Years are melting glaciers in Switzerland. Researchers at the University of Zurich, now the ice is lost to know how much more accurate - and they will use the assistance of the fire.

Shovel the snow is measured in a wooden pillars and frequent changes in the thickness of the glacier. These methods are inexpensive and can pose a problem for people in positions to determine the annual and seasonal. However, a summary of the information is difficult to describe. Changes in the thickness of glacier ice, all, all, or simply a space-based position measurement is to overcome the shortcomings of scientists using laser technology to measure directly the field now.

Sea Level Could Rise from 0.75 to 1.9 Meters This Century


May have warned that the expected sea level rise than before new scientific research between 2100 and 75 years of world sea level is 190 cm in the presence of a document issued by the National Academy of Sciences increases.

Author, University of Helsinki in Finland Matinferumeru is Germany’s Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for climate impact, the last to the analysis of sea surface temperature measurements and 130 years to remove it.

Greenhouse Gas Carbon Dioxide Ramps Up Aspen Growth



Supply may be increased levels of climate change than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Also, many trees, such as mad cow disease will be different.

Deciduous trees quaking aspen in North America results in one new study of the distribution of natural forests, the most important one. Research in the Morris University of Minnesota researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UMM) and the magazine's December 4 day show on Global Change Biology, 50 Poplar past high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide a year the issue of boosting the growth rate of 50 percent of the Corporation.
