| Himalayan glaciers will shrink by almost 10 percent, even if temperatures hold steady Posted: 16 Nov 2012 09:46 AM PST If Bhutan's climate did not warm, glaciers in the monsoonal Himalayas would still shrink by almost 10 percent within the next few decades. What's more, the amount of melt water coming off these glaciers could drop by 30 percent.  |
| Clocks are ticking and climate is changing: Increasing plant productivity in a changing climate Posted: 16 Nov 2012 09:46 AM PST Scientists are looking to cellular biological clocks as a target for genetic modification for increasing plant productivity.  |
| Melt water on Mars could sustain life, new research suggests Posted: 16 Nov 2012 05:56 AM PST Near surface water has shaped the landscape of Mars. Areas of the planet's northern and southern hemispheres have alternately thawed and frozen in recent geologic history and comprise striking similarities to the landscape of Svalbard. This suggests that water has played a more extensive role than previously envisioned, and that environments capable of sustaining life could exist, according to new research.  |
