- Scitable brings peer-reviewed credibility to the Wikipedia age
- Regular readers will know that I'm actually a pretty big fan of Wikipedia. I think it has as much, if not more of a place in student research than actual encyclopedias did for us Gen-Xers when we were younger: it's a starting point and a great source of background...

- Global warming and coastal real estate
- Even if the real estate market eventually returns to pirce increases, you'd be wise not to invest in sea level properties. At least not this century. In a conference in Denmark this week, climate scientists warn the rising sea levels could go twice as high as previous projections...

- International Polar Year
- The Internation Polar Year is done. And there's now a glacier of data to be analyzed. One thing the scientists learned: the ice flows at a much higher rate in the Arctic than previously known. That's part of the reason Arctic ice is melting faster than in earlier...

- Climate change: less could mean more. That's not good
- An update to the most recent IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] report warns that even smaller temperature increases could mean even larger real life changes than earlier IPCC projections. This study was authored by a panel of scientists whoare members of the IPCC. Apparently the IPCC formal...

- Oops, this is happening faster than predicted
- Greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide are accumulating faster than predicted. Now scientists are saying that global warming is going to happen much faster than the current U.N. commission's warnings. One leader of the the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said the nations of the world face two choices...

- More help from bacteria: this time they're stopping nitrate pollution
- Researchers are developing bioreactors to trap and neutralize nitrate rich water that runs off our fields and farms. I've blogged in the past now heavy nitrate concentrations are creating dead zones in some of the world's offshore water.Now scientists at the U.S. Agricutlural Research Service have developed a method...

- Climate science: now what? Less ice, more hanta virus.
- Guess which part of the Northern Hemisphere is warming the fastest? Scientists say "Arctic." That means retreating glaciers, reduction in sea ice and the rising ocean levels will continue. The research comes from a multi-national group of scientists and the project was co-ordinated by the U.S. Geological...

- LOHAFEX: trying to iron out the climate problem
- There's an experiment going on to see if a major phytoplankton bloom can be instigated on a large scale in the ocean. That in turn, theoretically, could absorb masses of CO2 that is partly to blame for global warming. That experiment originates with a German research ship, now...

- Genetically modified tomatoes to fight cancer?
- Despite advertising campaigns, we don't eat the five fruits and vegetables we're supposed to do to protect us from obesity and many diseases. This is why European researchers have decided to genetically modify one of the plants we still often eat, the tomato. And the high anthocyanins content purple tomatoes...
