Floods as war weapons
2015-06-09 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A new study shows that, from 1500 until 2000, about a third of floods in southwestern Netherlands were deliberately caused by humans during wartimes. Some of these inundations resulted in significant changes to the landscape, being as damaging as floods caused by heavy rainfall or storm surges. The work, by Dutch researcher Adriaan de Kraker, is published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, a journal of the European Geosciences Union (EGU). During the Eighty Years' War, as the Spanish army fought...

New chapter in Earth history: Fallout from nuclear weapons tests marks dawn Anthropocene?
2015-05-11 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: An international group of scientists has proposed that fallout from hundreds of nuclear weapons tests in the late 1940s to early 1960s could be used to mark the dawn of a new geological age in Earth history -- the Anthropocene. The study, led by Dr Colin Waters of the British Geological Survey, published new research in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The research involved 10 members of the Anthropocene Working Group that is chaired by Professor Jan Zalasiewicz of the Department of Geology...
