Space-Based Measurments Can Track Global Ocean Acidity, Researchers Say
2015-02-16 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: An international team of scientists has developed new methods for studying the acidity of the oceans from space, according to research published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. Currently, scientists must rely on measurements taken from research vessels and sampling equipment deployed in oceans to determine acidity which rises as the oceans absorb CO2 from the atmosphere but this approach is expensive and geographically limited. The new techniques use satellite-mounted thermal...

NASA Researchers forecast decades long mega-drought to hit Southwest of the US
2015-02-14 15:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Westside Story: A decades-long mega-droughts is likely to hit the U.S. Southwest and Central Plains regions during the second half of this century, if climate change issues go unattended forecasts researchers from NASA, Columbia and Cornell universities. The study findings are published in the journal Science Advances. The new forecast is based on models of continued climate change and considers the lagging pace of many countries in mitigating the output of greenhouse gases. The study findings reveal that there...
