| Solar activity not a key cause of climate change, study shows Posted: 22 Dec 2013 01:18 PM PST Climate change has not been strongly influenced by variations in heat from the sun, a new scientific study shows.  |
| Clues to how plants evolved to cope with cold Posted: 22 Dec 2013 01:18 PM PST Researchers have found new clues to how plants evolved to withstand wintry weather. Scientists constructed an evolutionary tree of more than 32,000 species of flowering plants -- the largest time-scaled evolutionary tree to date. By combining their tree with freezing exposure records and leaf and stem data, the researchers were able to reconstruct how plants evolved to cope with cold as they spread across the globe.  |
| Scientists anticipated size and location of 2012 Costa Rica earthquake Posted: 22 Dec 2013 01:00 PM PST Scientists using GPS to study changes in the Earth's shape accurately forecasted the size and location of the magnitude 7.6 Nicoya earthquake that occurred in 2012 in Costa Rica.  |
| Greenland ice stores liquid water year-round Posted: 22 Dec 2013 01:00 PM PST Researchers have found an extensive reservoir in the Greenland Ice Sheet that holds water year round. A surprising discovery, the existence of the 27,000 square mile aquifer adds important information to sea level rise calculations.  |
| Not just Koch brothers: New study reveals funders behind climate change denial effort Posted: 20 Dec 2013 12:45 PM PST A new study exposes the organizational underpinnings and funding behind the powerful climate change counter movement. This study marks the first peer-reviewed, comprehensive analysis ever conducted of the sources of funding that maintain the denial effort.  |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2013 08:58 AM PST New research provides deeper insight into causes of serious diseases involving copper metabolism. Mapping the mechanism that regulates the transport of copper across the cell membrane and out of the body's cells actually provides a new understanding of conditions related to chronic imbalance in the body's level of copper.  |
