Ancient marine sediments provide clues to future climate change
2016-04-25 17:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Phys.Org: Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration was the major driver behind the global climatic shifts that occurred between 53 and 34 million years ago, according to new research led by the University of Southampton. The study, which was published today in Nature, is the first to resolve the relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) and climate during the period known as the 'Eocene epoch' when global temperatures were around 14 oC warmer than...

Nature World News: For ancient Mayans, water conservation was a very important aspect of their lives. They lived in and around Mexico, Belize and Guatemala where rainfall was quite scarce. The National Science Foundation-supported research by Jeffrey Brewer, a doctoral student at the University of Cincinnati's, and Christopher Carr, UC research assistant professor of geography, are the ones who are involved in this research, as per Examiner. According to Science Daily, with the help of a surveying technology...
How an ancient civilization conserved water
2016-04-09 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Collection, storage and management of water were top priorities for the ancient Maya, whose sites in Mexico, Belize and Guatemala were forced to endure seven months out of the year with very little rainfall. As researchers expand their explorations of the civilization outside of large, elite-focused research site centers, aerial imagery technology is helping them locate and study areas that are showing them how less urbanized populations conserved water for drinking and irrigation. The NSF-supported...
